Introduction
Eliminate the Headache of Display Configuration and
Auto-detection with SmartAVI’s EDID-Mirror. The EDID-
Mirror prevents Windows7, XP and Linux from auto-
configuring your displays if your computer is started up
with the displays disconnected or turned off. Certain
operating systems, especially Windows 7, have a display
auto-detection feature that can reconfigure your displays
if they are not powered on or connected at startup. This
can lead to the frustrating task of reconfiguring your
displays. The solution is the EDID-Mirror, a DVI-D EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data) emulator that
provides a constant signal to the computer, regardless of
whether the displays are present or not. This ensures that
the display configuration is not lost.
Learning the EDID
1.
Disconnect all the DVI-D cables from the Video Wall
processor (computer).
2.
Connect the EDID-Mirror-4P to the displays.
3.
Power on the EDID-Mirror-4P by plugging it in.
4.
Power on the sisplays.
5.
Configure your displays as desired.
6.
The activity lights on the EDID-Mirror-4P will be
steadily illuminated.
7.
Press and hold the LEARN button until both the
activity lights turn off. (approximately 2 seconds)
8.
Release the LEARN button.
9.
The activity lights will blink slowly while the EDID
is learned.
10.
When the learning is completed, both activity
lights will quickly blink alternately indicating that
the EDID has been learned. (If the learning fails,
the activity lights will turn off for approximately 2
seconds)
11.
Connect the Video Wall processor to the EDID-
Mirror-4P.
12.
It is now safe to disconnect the DVI-D cables from
the displays without losing your configuration.
13.
The EDID information is stored even if the EDID-
Master-4P is powered off.

EDID provides plug-and-play capability to your
displays. When you plug a display into your
computer, the EDID table in the display tells the
computer the optimal resolution to use.
