Installing the EDID Programmer
PC System Requirements (v1.2.0)
Windows
®
2000 or Windows
®
XP Professional
Minimum Hardware: 166 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 MB of free disk space*, 800x600 display,
serial port, video card with dual outputs**
Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM*
* The installation process requires 20 MB of disk space for the EDID Programmer’s installer. Once
installed, the EDID Programmer requires 5 MB of disk space.
** We strongly urge the user
not
to use video cards with DMS-59 connectors
. Video cards with DMS-59
connectors have been shown to fail consistently and, in the worst case,
can corrupt an EDID data file
. A
laptop PC with a VGA or DVI out is a good solution. Cards with 2 DVI connectors, 2 VGA connectors,
or 1 DVI and 1 VGA connector are also acceptable.
To install EDID Programmer software:
1.
Locate and open the installer <EDIDProgrammer_1.2.exe> on the
AMX AutoPatch CD
or at
www.amx.com
.
2.
Follow the directions in the wizard.
Reading and Saving EDID Data from a Destination Device
Tip:
The Save button in the EDID Programmer can be used to save the EDID information as an
.edid file, which can be opened as a text file (click on the Open button) and edited or opened and
written to an input (click the Write button).
The instructions below cover the situation in which the EDID Programmer is used to read the EDID
information from a destination device in the installation with a DVI connector (an HD-15 connector can
also be used). Additional information for using cable adapters is provided on the next page.
To read and save EDID data from a destination device:
1.
On the PC, open the EDID Programmer.
