Installing the Gefen EDID Tool+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gefen EDID Tool+ is a free downloadable application from Gefen that provides EDID 

management for select Booster and Detective-based units using an intuitive Windows® 

interface. Available EDID Tool+ features depend on which Gefen EDID Tool+ compatible 

product is being used.

There will be two files within the folder:  

setup.exe

 and the user manual for the 

Gefen EDID Tool+.

 

2.  Double-click the 

setup.exe

 file to launch the installation Wizard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the following dialog box is displayed, then click 

Yes

 to continue with the installation 

Wizard. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: 

The Gefen EDID Tool+ application, User Manual, and 

Firmware (See 

Firmware Upgrade Procedure

)

 can be downloaded 

from the Support Section of the Gefen web site under 

EDID Storage 

Detectives

.

 Before launching the Gefen EDID Tool+, make sure that 

a USB cable is connected between the DisplayPort Detective Plus 

and the computer that is running the Gefen EDID Tool+.
