Connecting the VA-1DVIN Virtual EDID
In the example illustrated in Figure 2, a projector is disconnected from a PC
in order to reinstall it at a distance, after the PC has read the projector’s
acquired EDID from the
VA-1DVIN
. The projector is then reconnected,
without the need to reboot the system.
The configuration illustrated in
Figure 3
requires two separate stages:
The
VA-1DVIN
needs to acquire the projector’s EDID
information (see section 5.1)
The PC is connected to the VA-1DVIN, letting it read the
projector’s EDID information even if it is not connected to the PC
(see section 5.2).
The projector can now be reconnected at a distance to the PC via
the
VA-1DVIN
5.1 Acquiring the EDID
To use the
VA-1DVIN
to acquire the EDID information, as illustrated in
the example in
Figure 2
, do the following:
1. Connect the OUTPUT DVI connector to the input DVI connector of the
display (for example, a projector), using a short cable.
2. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity

(not shown in this illustration).
The ON LED should light.
3. Press the CAPTURE EDID button.
The ON LED turns off while the EDID information is read and stored in the
VA-1DVIN
non-volatile memory. When the ON LED lights again, the
EDID is stored.
4. Disconnect the projector’s DVI connector from the OUTPUT DVI on the
VA-1DVIN
.
5. Disconnect the power source.
1 Also make sure that the projector is connected to the power supply
