Figure 5-1. EDID Management menu 

The HDMI source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the HDMI INPUT 
port.  The  user  can  copy  an  EDID  from  any  of  the  three  EDID  lists  to  the  user  memory 
locations.  

There are two types of emulation: static and dynamic. 

 

Static EDID emulation happens, when an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is 
selected  by  the  Rotary  switches.  In  this  case  the  Emulated  EDID  will  remain  the 
same until the user emulates another EDID. 

 

Dynamic EDID emulation can be enabled by selecting #00 on the  EDID ADDRESS 
rotary  switches

.  The  attached  monitor’s  EDID  is  copied  to  the  INPUT,  if  a  new 

monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID changes automatically. 

Changing the emulated EDID 

To change the emulated EDID use the Rotary switches on the front panel of the device. 

Info:  

If  dynamic  emulation  is  established,  the  emulated  EDID  will  be  changed  on  the  HDMI 
INPUT  every  time  a  new  monitor  is  connected  to  the  MONITOR  OUT.  If  the  monitor  is 
disconnected  from  the  output,  the  last  EDID  remains  emulated  for  the  source.  This 
feature  helps  especially  rental  technicians  or  system  integrators  to  keep  the  source 
continuously  transmitting  the  signal,  and  adopt  the  system  for  new  incoming  display 
devices. 

Info:  

Power ON/OFF cycle will not affect the emulated EDID or other settings. 

Info:  

Front panel status change is reported back to the Controller Software. 

Learning EDID from attached display device via software 

The  HDMI-OPT-TX200R/RX100R  is  able  to  learn  the  EDID  from  a  connected  display 
device and store it in one of the user programmable memory locations. 

 

Step 1.

 

Select the User Memory in the drop-down menu in one of the list windows. 

Step 2.

 

Select the EDID to be saved from the other list window. 

Step 3.

 

Drag and drop the selected EDID to the desired User Memory location. 

Step 4.

 

Click Yes in the pop-up dialog window to confirm EDID change. 

Saving EDID from memory to file 

The control software is able to download EDID from the device and to save it as an EDID 
file in .dat, .bin and .edid (Christie X20) file formats.
