Virtual EDID Programming Procedure

If an EDID 

is not required

 by the DVI source, then EDID programming will not be 

necessary.   EDID programming 

is

 

required

 if the maximum resolution of the

 

display does not support 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). 

 

 

1. 

Power on the DVI display.

2. 

Connect the 5V DC power supply to the power receptacle of the Sender unit.  

Make sure that the Power LED is ON and that the Status LED is blinking 

slowly.

3. 

Press and hold the EDID PRGM button on the Sender unit using a small 

pointed object.  The Status LED will turn OFF.

4. 

Connect the Sender unit to the display (not to the source).

Sender unit.  After about 10 seconds, the Status LED will blink slowly to 

indicate that the EDID programming procedure was successful.

6. 

Disconnect the Sender unit from the display.

7. 

Disconnect the power supply from the Sender unit.

8. 

Connect the 5V DC power supply to the Receiver unit and connect the

EDID PROGRAMMING

IMPORTANT: 

The DVI FM1500 Sender unit has a default built-in 

EDID of 1920 x 1200.  If the Sender unit is programmed with another

 

EDID (see page 9), the default EDID will be erased.  Once the

 

default EDID is erased, it cannot be restored.

Press and hold the EDID 

PRGM button.
