KW-Commerce DVI EDID Emulator 2 in 1 accessory 2560x1600@60Hz

SKU CH-X7W1-FZHAX

A DVI EDID emulator that keeps desktop layout intact when a monitor is turned off or switched via KVM, supporting 2560x1600 at 60 Hz and stable operation at 4K 30 Hz or 1080p 60 Hz

  • Keeps desktop layout intact when monitors sleep or are switched off via DVI EDID emulation
  • Prevents Windows from re-detecting displays on KVM switch changes with locked EDID data
  • Acts as a virtual display head so multi-monitor arrangements stay fixed without a physical screen
  • Supports 2560x1600 at 60Hz plus 1080p at 60Hz and 4K at 30Hz for flexible resolutions
  • Female DVI port allows external display passthrough while maintaining EDID lock and signal stability

DVI EDID Emulator for Desktop Stability

The KW-Commerce DVI EDID emulator plugs directly into a graphics card DVI output or a DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter. It presents a constant display identity so the operating system does not rearrange the desktop when a physical monitor is turned off or switched away on a KVM. The unit is designed for users who need persistent multi-monitor layouts across sleep or KVM transitions.

Maximum 2560x1600 at 60 Hz Headroom

The emulator reliably maintains a virtual display at 2560x1600 resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate. It also operates stably at 1080p 60 Hz and can handle 4K signals at 30 Hz when required. Beyond these tested modes the device cannot guarantee correct EDID handshake or timing, so higher resolutions or refresh rates are not supported.

DVI Interface and KVM Switching Limits

Because the device communicates over a standard DVI link, it is bound by the bandwidth and signalling constraints of that interface. It cannot transmit audio, carry USB data, or negotiate newer display protocols that require DisplayPort or HDMI auxiliary channels. Users needing hot-plug detection on modern digital-only ports or support for variable refresh rates will find this adapter unsuitable.

Questions about this item

Will this emulator keep my desktop layout intact when I turn off a 2560x1600 monitor connected through a DVI KVM switch?

Yes, the emulator plugs in-line on the DVI output and presents a constant EDID so Windows stops searching for the monitor when the KVM switches away, preventing apps from jumping to another screen.

How can I confirm the emulator is holding the EDID correctly after I install it?

With the emulator connected, open Display Settings or your GPU control panel; the virtual display should remain listed at 2560x1600@60Hz even when the physical monitor is powered off or the KVM port is switched.

What cables or adapters come in the box and what must I supply myself?

The unit is a DVI male-to-female passthrough dongle; you provide the DVI cable to your graphics card or DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter and the DVI cable to your monitor or KVM.
