scope:

This Bulletin addresses issues related to the VESA Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) tables utilized within the EIA/CEA-861 standard.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to manufacturers that utilize the EIA/CEA-861 standard. Specifically, this guidance is for the implementation of EDID tables. Primarily, the motivation is to help insure interoperability between various source and sink devices that will be found in the marketplace. EIA/CEA-CEB14 should in no way prohibit consumer device manufacturers from including additional features, and EIA/CEA-CEB14 should not be interpreted as stipulating any form of upper limit to EDID features; such as that in 861-A and 861-B

In the case of a discrepancy between this Recommended Practice and the applicable source standards (i.e., EIA/CEA-861, DVI 1.0, and VESA E-EDID Standards), the applicable standards take precedence.
