During the handshake process of a digital visual system, where are bytes from the EDID table sent to?

During the handshake process of a digital visual system, the bytes from the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) table are sent to source devices. The EDID is a data structure provided by a display monitor to describe its capabilities to a source device, typically a computer, media player, or other content-providing devices. This communication allows the source device to recognize the maximum resolution, refresh rates, supported audio formats, and other important display specifications.

When the source device receives the EDID information, it can then adjust its output settings to ensure compatibility with the display monitor, optimizing performance and functionality. This interaction is critical for delivering a seamless visual experience, as it helps prevent issues like unsupported resolutions that could result in display problems.

In this context, while network routers, display monitors, and audio receivers play significant roles in digital systems, they are not the primary recipients of the EDID data during the handshake process. The handshake and EDID process focus on the direct communication between the source device and the display monitor to establish an appropriate connection.
