An Easier Way to Store the EDID for HDTV
EXT-DVI-EDIDP
Save the EDID -- now for HDTV equipment as well
as Computers.
Displays use EDID - Extended Display Identification Data - to
communicate to computers and HDTV sources the array of
video resolutions and timings that they are capable of
displaying. In certain situations this data can be lost resulting in
incorrect display settings, or even a complete loss of video.
The DVI Detective Plus solves this problem by ensuring that a
correct EDID signal is constantly available to the DVI source -
even if the display is switched to a different computer. After the
simple EDID recording process is completed, the DVI Detective
Plus is placed at the DVI output of the computer's video card
where it will provide the computer with a constant EDID signal.
The Detective Plus is equipped with DVI ports, but it is also
compatible with VGA through the use of optional adapters.
The DVI Detective Plus provides all the functionality of the DVI
Detective N and adds HDCP pass through and the ability to
use one of five pre-programmed EDID profiles.
How It Works
To program the Detective Plus, first connect it to the DVI or
VGA input of the display that is being used. For the
programming process only, the Detective is powered by an
included 5V DC power supply. Disable the write protect switch,
set the DIP switches to the appropriate positions, depress the
program button, and after a few seconds EDID recording is
complete. The Detective can now be disconnected from the
display and power supply and installed at the appropriate
place in the video distribution chain. The Detective will receive
5V power from the computer's DVI or VGA output.
Note:
The Gefen DVI Detective Plus includes 5 pre-programmed
EDID profiles that can be used in the event that a suitable
EDID cannot be recorded. Instructions for selecting a
pre-programmed EDID profile are outlined in the user's
manual.
The included DVI cable does not support analog VGA.
