Chapter 4: Operation
4.2 EDID Setting on a Transmitter
In some cases, display problems may occur because of incorrect EDID
communication between the display monitor and the unit or inappropriate EDID
data programmed by display manufacturers. The EDID Copy function enables the
system to either read the necessary EDID information from the unit or copy EDID
from EDID-compliant displays.
NOTE: Before starting EDID Setting, ensure the Cascade Switch is in the “OFF”
position.
4.2.1 EDID Copy
If the transmitter EDID does not match the EDID of the attached displays, copy the
EDID from the displays.
STEP 1:
Apply power to the unit.
STEP 2:
Connect the display to the Video Out connector on the transmitter and
power on the display.
STEP 3:
Press the “EDID Copy” button and release the button RIGHT AFTER the LED
flashes green.
STEP 4:
The LED flashes red and green alternately and returns to normal status,
indicating that the copy is successful.
Otherwise, if the LED flashes RED:
a. The monitor is not properly connected.
b. The monitor is not powered on.
c. EDID data of the monitor is not applicable.
Repeat STEPS 2 and 3.
4.2.2 Use (Load) Default Setting
When using a monitor that is NOT EDID compliant, the transmitter will automatically
select viable EDID data from the transmitter’s EDID profile to set up the EDID
information.
STEP 1:
Apply power to the transmitter.
STEP 2:
Press the “EDID Copy” button and release the button RIGHT AFTER the LED
flashes red.
STEP 3:
The LED flashes red and green alternately and returns to normal status
when the copy is successful.
