Command Type	SDVoE
Minimum Version	3.x.x

Usage

set <target> edid <data_hex>

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
target	Yes	Hostname or MAC address of a single transmitter, or a device group (ALL, ALL_TX).
data_hex	Yes	The EDID as a hexadecimal string. See EDID data.

EDID data

data_hex must be a hexadecimal string representing the binary EDID: exactly 512 hexadecimal characters (256 bytes), beginning with the EDID header 00ffffffffffff00.

Examples

Set a transmitter's EDID (data truncated)
set 001ec0f03668 edid 00ffffffffffff00410c2fc0c52d0000...0000ac

Return value

  "status": "PROCESSING",
  "request_id": 57,
  "result": null,

}

Errors

Error	Cause
ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT	The target is not a valid device ID or group name, the data is not 512 hex characters, or the data does not begin with the EDID header

Notifications

A SETTINGS_CHANGED notification is generated for each affected device. See Notifications.

REST API

Endpoint type	SDVoE API command, forwarded to the Control Server
Address	/api/device/{target}
Role	Governed by the device lock rather than by a DisplayNet role

POST /api/device/{target}

{
  "op": "set:edid",
  "data_hex": "String"
}

Values labeled with a type name such as String or Integer are placeholders, not literal text. Replace them with actual values; fields marked (optional) can be omitted.

{target} takes a DisplayNet device name as readily as a device ID, and a locked device refuses a mutating operation. See SDVoE API operations for what DisplayNet adds to these calls.
