EDID on the DVI and VGA inputs
If you are using a computer DVI card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically configure itself to suit the
projector.
Otherwise refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to the DMD™ resolution of the projector or the
nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
Using HDMI/DVI switchers with the projector
When using an HDMI/DVI source switcher with the projector, it is important to set the switcher so that it passes the projector EDID through to
the source devices. If this is not done, the projector may not be able to lock to the source or display the source correctly as its video output
timings may not be compatible with those of the projector. Sometimes this is called transparent, pass-through or clone mode. See your
switcher’s manual for information on how to set this mode.

Notes
The EDIDs in the switcher should be the same as the one in the projector.
