4. Operation
4.1 EDID Copy (on Transmitter Unit)
In some cases, users may experience display problems. This can be caused by
incorrect EDID communication between the display monitor and the PC graphics
card, or insufficient EDID data programmed by display manufacturers. The transmit-
ter units have an “EDID Copy” feature that enables the unit to read the necessary
EDID information from the attached video display and then deliver it at all times to
the attached computer. If no new EDID information is available from a display, a
default profile in the transmitter unit is automatically provided instead.
For best EDID communication when the computer is booting up, you should
implement the EDID Copy feature on the transmitter before operation. This is
described next.
4.2 Use (Load) the Default Setting
When using a monitor that’s not EDID compliant for display, the transmitter will
automatically select viable EDID data from its default EDID profile to set up the EDID
information. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1. Plug in the included power cord to power “ON” the transmitter unit.
Step 2. Press and hold the “EDID Copy” button on the unit and release the button
RIGHT AFTER the LED starts flashing red (approximately 6–7 seconds).
Step 3. The power LED lights steady GREEN, indicating that the EDID Copy is
completed.
