Installing the EDID Programmer
PC Requirements (EDID Programmer v1.2.0)
Windows 2000
®
or Windows XP Professional
®
Minimum Hardware: 166 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 MB of free disk space*, 800x600 display,
video card with dual outputs**
Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM
Serial port
* The installation process requires 20 MB of disk space for the EDID Programmer installer. Once
installed, the EDID Programmer requires 5 MB of disk space.
** We strongly urge the user not to use video cards with DMS-59 connectors. Video cards with DMS-59
connectors have been shown to fail consistently and, in the worst case, can corrupt an EDID data file.
A laptop PC with a VGA or DVI out is a good solution. Cards with 2 DVI connectors, 2 VGA
connectors, or 1 DVI and 1 VGA connector are also acceptable.
To install EDID Programmer software:
1.
Locate and open the installer at
www.amx.com
.
2.
Follow the directions in the wizard.
Reading and Saving EDID Data from the Destination Device
Tip:
The Save button in the EDID Programmer can be used to save the EDID information as an.edid
file, which can be opened as a text file (click the Open button) and edited or opened and written to
the Video input on the TX (click the Write button).
The instructions on
page 54 cover the situation in which the EDID Programmer is used to read the EDID
information from a destination device in the installation using a DVI connector (an HD-15connector can
also be used). Additional information for using DVI cable is provided below.
Using Cable Adapters
If your laptop has an HD-15 (VGA) port, you can use a DVI-to-VGA cable to connect the laptop’s
HD-15 video port to a DVI cable attached to a destination device’s DVI port. Alternatively, use the
following combination of adapters with a DVI-D cable to connect the laptop to the destination device:
Note:
The setup of adapters and DVI-D cable in FIG. 37 passes EDID information but does not pass
video signals.
