<h1>Tuning HDMI EDID</h1>
<div><div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Info</p>
<p>This applies to <a href="../v3/">PiKVM V3</a>, <a href="../v4/">V4</a> and DIY based on CSI bridge.
It is impossible to change the EDID for the HDMI-USB dongle.</p>
</div>
<p>The EDID provides an information about the video modes supported by the video capture device.
In the case of PiKVM, this is an HDMI CSI bridge.
Usually, you don't need to change this, since the default configuration is quite flexible,
but sometimes, for example for strange UEFIs/BIOSes, this may be necessary
(<a href="https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/78">a story</a>).</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="basics">Basics<a class="headerlink" href="#basics" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>The EDID is stored on the PiKVM in the file <code>/etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex</code> in HEX format.
When booting PiKVM OS, it is used by <code>kvmd-tc358743.service</code> and loaded into the video capture chip.</p>
<p>If you replace the EDID in this file, the EDID can be applied manually without rebooting
using the command <code>kvmd-edidconf --apply</code>.</p>
<p>If you just want to change the monitor's identification, we don't recommend that you change the entire EDID.
Just use <code>kvmd-edidconf</code> and its built-in EDID changing options.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Windows caches drivers and registry settings so changing the monitor name is not enough,
you will also need to change the product ID and/or the serial number along with the monitor name:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--set-monitor-name<span class="o">=</span>TOSHIBA<span class="w"> </span>--set-mfc-id<span class="o">=</span>TTP<span class="w"> </span>--set-product-id<span class="o">=</span><span class="m">34953</span><span class="w"> </span>--set-serial<span class="o">=</span><span class="m">2290649089</span><span class="w"> </span>--apply
</code></pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Quick IDs changing on PiKVM V4 Plus</p>
<p>PiKVM V4 Plus has a simple way read and adopt display identifiers like model and serial number
from your physical display. See <a href="./#adopt-real-display-indentifiers-on-v4-plus">here</a> for details.</p>
</div>
<p>Run <code>kvmd-edidconf</code> on PiKVM:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf
<span class="go">Manufacturer ID: LNX</span>
<span class="go">Product ID: 0x7773 (30579)</span>
<span class="go">Serial number: 0x01010101 (16843009)</span>
<span class="go">Monitor name: PiKVM V4 Plus</span>
<span class="go">Monitor serial: CAFEBABE</span>
<span class="go">Audio: yes</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>The fields have obvious names and purposes. Note the two similar fields <code>Serial number</code> and <code>Monitor serial</code>.
The first has a numeric value, and the second is ASCII. If you are using a custom EDID from some real display, some fields may be missing.</p>
<p>To change the values of the EDID fields, use the <code>kvmd-edidconf</code> with options, a complete list is available in <code>kvmd-edidconfi --help</code>.</p>
<p>Here the small example of changing all available fields from the previous listing:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--set-mfc-id<span class="o">=</span>TTP<span class="w"> </span>--set-product-id<span class="o">=</span>0x5B81<span class="w"> </span>--set-serial<span class="o">=</span>0x8DE11B79<span class="w"> </span>--set-monitor-name<span class="o">=</span>TOSHIBA<span class="w"> </span>--set-monitor-serial<span class="o">=</span>ABCD1234<span class="w"> </span>--apply
<span class="go">Manufacturer ID: TTP</span>
<span class="go">Product ID: 0x5B81 (23425)</span>
<span class="go">Serial number: 0x8DE11B79 (2380340089)</span>
<span class="go">Monitor name: TOSHIBA</span>
<span class="go">Monitor serial: ABCD1234</span>
<span class="go">Audio: yes</span>
<span class="go">...</span>
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>ro
</code></pre></div>
<p>The full list of manufacturer IDs is available <a href="https://uefi.org/pnp_id_list">here</a>.</p>
<p>Typical examples of working with EDID and the full cycle of using custom EDID will be shown below.</p>

<h2 id="adopt-real-display-indentifiers-on-v4-plus">Adopt real display indentifiers on V4 Plus<a class="headerlink" href="#adopt-real-display-indentifiers-on-v4-plus" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>PiKVM V4 Plus has a simple way read and adopt display identifiers like model and serial number
from the physical monitor connected to <code>OUT2</code> port (it's also used for <a href="../pass/">HDMI passthrough</a>).
This way, the target host will recognize PiKVM as your display.</p>
<p>To adopt display identifiers, connect the display to <code>OUT2</code> port and run these commands:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--import-display-ids<span class="w"> </span>--apply
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>ro
</code></pre></div>
<p>Now the display can be unplugged. PiKVM will remember the new settings.</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="restore-default-edid">Restore default EDID<a class="headerlink" href="#restore-default-edid" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>If you need to restore the default EDID you can easily do this with <code>kvmd-edidconf</code>, for example:</p>
<p></p><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--import-preset<span class="o">=</span>v4plus<span class="w"> </span>--apply
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>ro
</code></pre></div>
Available options: <code>v0</code>, <code>v1</code>, <code>v2</code>, <code>v3</code>, <code>v4mini</code> and <code>v4plus</code>.
<p>Also defaults edid can be found locally on your PiKVM: <code>/usr/share/kvmd/configs.default/kvmd/edid</code>,
or in the <a href="https://github.com/pikvm/kvmd/blob/master/configs/kvmd/edid">kvmd repo</a>.</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="force-1080p-by-default-on-pikvm-v0-v3">Force 1080p by default on PiKVM V0-V3<a class="headerlink" href="#force-1080p-by-default-on-pikvm-v0-v3" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>PiKVM V3 (or DIY V0-V2) has a hardware limit of 50Hz for 1080p mode, and this is a less common frequency than 60Hz.
Therefore, on V3, the default mode is 720p. Some OS (like Proxmox) may not work well with 720p,
so you can force 1080p resolution by default:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--import-preset<span class="o">=</span>v3.1080p-by-default<span class="w"> </span>--apply<span class="w"> </span><span class="c1"># Or, for example, v1.1080p-by-default</span>
<span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>ro
</code></pre></div>
<hr>
<h2 id="disable-1920x1200-on-pikvm-v4">Disable 1920x1200 on PiKVM V4<a class="headerlink" href="#disable-1920x1200-on-pikvm-v4" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>PiKVM V4 supports the advanced capture mode with 1920x1200. If it bothers you
(for example, if you use a physical monitor 1920x1080 with <a href="../pass/">video passthrough</a>),
you can easily disable it and use only 1920x1080:</p>

<p>PiKVM is able to emulate a physical display with a specific EDID.
You can find EDID examples in the <a href="https://github.com/linuxhw/EDID">community database</a>
and then use it on PiKVM.</p>
<p>At the same time, you should pay attention to the hardware capabilities of PiKVM
and the EDID capabilities that you use. For example, if EDID reports 8K support,
then this obviously won't work: your host will try to send an 8K signal,
while PiKVM can process no more than 1080p.</p>
<ul>
<li>PiKVM V1-V3: The maximum resolution is 1920x1080 at 50Hz.</li>
<li>PiKVM V4: The maximum is 1920x1200 at 60Hz.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the case of the <a href="../v4/">PiKVM V4</a>, almost any EDID for 1080p monitors will work.
All EDIDs that are suitable for <a href="../v3/">PiKVM V3</a> will work too.</p>

<p>To apply the selected EDID, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Switch filesystem to RW-mode:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open the file <code>/etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex</code> with any text editor, for example, with Nano:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>nano<span class="w"> </span>/etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Replace the HEX data with the new, save and close the editor.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Apply the EDID:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--apply
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sometimes it may be necessary to reboot the target host. Check the OS on the host, UEFI/BIOS.
If everything works, then your goal has been achieved and proceed to the last step.

<h2 id="editing-edid">Editing EDID<a class="headerlink" href="#editing-edid" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>To edit the EDID, it is best to use third-party utilities, such as the recommended advanced
<a href="https://www.analogway.com/emea/products/software-tools/aw-edid-editor">AW EDID Editor</a> for Windows (it's working great in wine)
or <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxedid">wxEDID</a>. Both editors work with the binary EDID format, but you can easily import and export it
to PiKVM using the <code>kvmd-edidconf</code> utility.</p>
<p>So, to tune EDID on PiKVM, use the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Switch filesystem to RW-mode:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>rw
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Export the system EDID to the binary file <code>myedid.bin</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp"># </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--export-bin<span class="o">=</span>/root/myedid.bin
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Copy this file to your PC using SCP, Putty or something like that.
Open this binary file in the EDID editor and change the necessary parameters.
Save your changes and copy the binary file back to PiKVM.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Convert the binary file to the HEX and test it:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">[root@pikvm ~]# </span>kvmd-edidconf<span class="w"> </span>--import<span class="o">=</span>/root/myedid.bin<span class="w"> </span>--apply
