5 Connecting the VA-1DVI Virtual EDID
In the example illustrated in Figure 3, a projector is connected to a PC via
an extended optic cable and the
VA-1DVI
. The PC needs the display’s
EDID information otherwise it will disable the output.
The configuration illustrated in Figure 3 requires two separate stages:
The
VA-1DVI
needs to read and store the projector’s EDID information
(see section 5.1)
The
VA-1DVI
is connected between the PC and the remote projector

,
letting the PC read the acquired information (see section 5.2)
5.1 Acquiring the EDID
For the
VA-1DVI
to acquire the EDID information, as illustrated in Figure
2, do the following:
1. Connect the OUTPUT DVI connector to the input DVI connector of the
display (for example, a projector).
2. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity

(not shown in this illustration).
Make sure that the POWER LED lights.
3. Press the CAPTURE EDID button.
The POWER LED turns off while the EDID information is read and stored
in the
VA-1DVI
non-volatile memory. Once the POWER LED lights
again, the EDID is stored.
4. Disconnect the projector’s DVI connector from the OUTPUT DVI on the
VA-1DVI
.
5. Disconnect the power source.
