Abstract
A composite EDID content generator includes an EDID memory module, containing EDID information, and a processor, interconnected to the EDID memory module and interconnected between an AV source device and a plurality of AV sink devices. Each AV sink device has a unique EDID, and the processor is configured to generate a combined EDID representing the combined characteristics of the plurality of AV sink devices, and to transmit the combined EDID to the AV source device.
Claims20
An AV system, comprising:
- an AV source device;
- a plurality of AV sink devices, each sink device having an EDID;
- and
- a composite EDID content generator, operably disposed between the AV source device and the plurality of AV sink devices, configured to read the EDID of each AV sink device, and to generate a composite EDID representing the combined characteristics of the plurality of AV sink devices.
A composite EDID content generator, comprising:
- an EDID memory module, containing EDID information;
- and
- a processor, interconnected to the EDID memory module and interconnected between an AV source device and a plurality of AV sink devices, each AV sink device having a unique EDID, the processor being configured to generate a combined EDID representing the combined characteristics of the plurality of AV sink devices, and to transmit the combined EDID to the AV source device.
A method for interconnecting an AV source device and a plurality of AV sink devices, comprising the steps of
- reading an EDID of each of the plurality of AV sink devices;
- generating a composite EDID representing the combined characteristics of the plurality of AV sink devices;
- and
- exposing the composite EDID to the AV source device.
