VM-10H2 

– Operating the VM-10H2 

 

Acquiring and Setting the Current EDID 

You can acquire and set the EDID Using Front Panel Buttons, RS-232 Serial Commands, and 
Kramer EDID Designer. 

Using Front Panel Buttons 

To acquire the current EDID: 

  Press the 

EDID SELECT

 button 

The 

EDID SELECT

 and 

EDID READ

 buttons light. 

The output port LED of the currently used EDID lights. 

 

If the currently used EDID is the default EDID, then the LEDs of all ports flash.  

To set the current EDID: 

1.  Press the 

EDID SELECT

 button 

The 

EDID SELECT

 and 

EDID READ

 buttons light. 

2.  Continue pressing the 

EDID SELECT

 button. The output port LEDs light in sequence 

(even for disconnected ports) until the desired output port is reached. An additional 
button press after the last port enables selection of the default EDID and all output port 
LEDs flash. Another press selects the 1st output port and the sequence begins again. 

3.  When the desired EDID source is reached, press the 

EDID READ

 button 

VM-10H2 

reads the EDID for a few seconds and syncs the displays.  

 

Upon displays syncing, an interruption on the video outputs may be noticed.  

When completed, the 

EDID SELECT

 and 

EDID READ

 LEDs turn OFF and all LEDs 

return to the status display mode (i.e., only ports connected to active devices have their 
corresponding LEDs lit). 

 

If a disconnected output port is chosen or the EDID cannot be read, the 

VM-10H2 

loads the default EDID.  

Using RS-232 Serial Commands 

Connect a PC or other serial controller to 

VM-10H2

 RS-232. Use the Protocol 3000 

commands (see 

Protocol 3000

 on page 

12

 and 

EDID Handling Commands

 on page 

23

) to 

control the 

VM-10H2

Using Kramer EDID Designer 

 

The EDID Designer can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at: 

www.kramerav.com/product/VM-10H2

 

 

The EDID for each input can be changed independently by uploading an EDID binary file to 
each input via the RS-232 port using Kramer 

EDID Designer
