Device Operation

The AT-OME-MS42 provide three memory locations which can be used to store EDID data.  Any downstream EDID 

can be captured and stored in these locations.  Each memory location is non-volatile and captured EDID data is 

stored after power is disconnected from the unit.

Storing 

EDID Data

1. 

Connect an HDMI cable from the 

HDMI OUT

 port on the AT-OME-MS42 to the HDMI input on the display, 

containing the EDID to be stored.

2. 

Login to the web server.  Refer to 

Introduction to the Web Server (page 51)

.

3.  Click 

EDID

 in the menu bar.

4. 

Locate the 

EDID Saved

 section.

5. 

Click the drop-down list, next to the memory location to be used, and select the output which will be used to 

fetch the EDID.  Refer to the next page for more information.
