# EDID Emulation

The **EDID emulation** feature is supported by some professional series of graphic cards: NVIDIA Quadro (with the R256 driver and newer) and AMD FirePro. When an EDID is loaded or forced through the management system, the driver ignores display hot-plug actions.

Managing the display information using a customizable EDID manager by a professional GPU adds a great deal of stability and reliability to an AV system.

  If all of the projectors are the same (same type of projector and brand), it is enough to export and save the EDID from one of them. This file can be used for all of the projectors of the same model. Name the file according to the projector name and model for future purposes.
* **Step 4:** Load EDID \
  \=> Select "Load" tab.\
  \=> Click 'Browse' to select the file.\
  \=> Checkbox the outputs you want to load your EDID data.\
  \=> Press 'Load EDID':\

  \=> After you have successfully loaded the EDID, where it previously said "monitor" will now read "file".  \
