The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) of your monitor or display can be programmed
into the HDMV. This will allow the HDMV to pass essential display information between the display
and the attached sources. Information pertaining to color depth, resolution, and sound must be
properly configured in order for the optimum viewing .
To program the EDID first disconnect any inputs to the HDMV and plug a monitor in to the output.
Next power the device on.
Plug an RS-232 cable or USB to RS-232 adapter into the HDMV and your computer.

Any serial data application similar to
HyperTerminal will be able to connect to
the HDMV provided the Bits per second are
115200, the data bits are set to 8, the Parity
is “None,” the stop bits are “1,” and there is no
flow control. HyperTerminal comes standard
on windows XP and can be enabled on
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows
