Operating the HDMI Detective Plus
EDID Programming
Uploading an EDID file to the Local Input
The #loedidtolo command allows any EDID file to be directly uploaded to the local input
(HDMI input) of the HDMI Detective Plus. The EDID file must be in binary (
.bin
) format.
1. Connect the HDMI Detective Plus to the computer using a USB-to-Mini USB cable.
The USB connection will power the HDMI Detective Plus.
2. On the PC, launch a terminal-emulation program. We will be using Windows®
Hyperterminal to illustrate this example.
Refer to Using the Virtual COM Port for more information on terminal communication
settings.
3. Type and enter the following command line:
#loedidtolo param1
where param1 is the EDID filename. The file type must be binary ( .bin ).
In this example, we will load an EDID file named “visio.bin”:
#loedidtolo visio.bin
4. After executing the command, the terminal program responds with the following:
Waiting for the file to be sent ... (press ‘a’ to abort)
5. Open the Transfer menu and select Send File...
6. Click the Browse... button to select the EDID file.
7. Select Ymodem as the sending protocol.
8. Click the Send button.
9. After the EDID has been uploaded, the following will be displayed:
File: visio.bin, Size: 128 Bytes
Download successfully
Note in the example, above, the file size is displayed as 128 bytes. This number will
vary depending upon the size of the EDID that is uploaded. The two most common
file sizes are 128 and 256 bytes.
