To choose the screen configurations used to inform the HDMI sources
Before an HDMI source can provide video output it needs to be informed about the
capabilities and requirements of the attached screens. The AdderLink POD Manager lets
you choose from three different
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) sources:
•
Default
- A standard EDID retained by the transmitter will be used.
•
Cloned
and
Transparent
- Both of these options will copy and use the EDID
information from the display screen that is selected in the adjacent
Screen
field,
once you click the
Save
button. The entries available within the
Screen
field
will depend upon which screens are attached to the receivers at the time. The
difference between the
Cloned
and
Transparent
modes is that a
Cloned
EDID will
continue to be used, even if the screen from which it was copied is replaced with a
different type. Whereas in
Transparent
mode, the EDID of the replacement screen
will automatically be taken and used in place of the original.

Access the AdderLink POD Manager
.
2 On the left side, click the
Transmitter Configuration button (or click the
transmitter image within the System Overview).
3 Within the main section of the page, choose the most appropriate EDID mode for the
required HDMI input entry:
EDID Port 1 source
or
EDID Port 2 source
:
•
Default
- to use an internally-held general purpose EDID.
•
Cloned
- to copy and use the EDID of the current
Screen
entry, such that it will
persist even if that screen is replaced.
•
Transparent
- to copy and use the EDID of the current
Screen
entry, such that it
will automatically change if that screen is replaced.
4 Adjacent to the HDMI Input entry (
EDID Port 1 source
or
EDID Port 2 source
), select
the
Screen
name if required.
5 Click the
Save
button to copy and apply the chosen EDID to the HDMI input port.
To enable and disable all screens
This option allows you to easily send all connected screens into standby mode and
similarly bring them all back to full operation at the click of a button. When the
Disable
all Screens
command is sent, each receiver removes its video signal which causes the
connected screen to enter power saving standby mode.
When you disable any screens, their corresponding graphical
representation within the System Overview page will be
shown in black until they are re-enabled
