Appendix A – EDID Programmer

Epica DGX 144 Instruction Manual
Note:
Any analysis or editing of the EDID data necessary to support the equipment specific to your
installation will need to be done separately prior to using the EDID Programmer. A variety of
freeware tools can be found on the web to help with these tasks.
Keep in mind that the EDID information for some equipment may not be compatible with the remaining
equipment even with programming. In those cases, the signals will have limited routing options.
Tip:
If the signal from some of the equipment can only be routed to part of the destinations due to
incompatible EDIDs, control can be simplified by creating a separate virtual matrix (level) for the
inputs and outputs involved. To request a modified configuration file with new virtual matrices,
contact technical support (see page 43) or see the XNConnect Help file for directions.
The remaining sections provide information on:
Determining the need for EDID programming
Installing the EDID Programmer
Reading and saving EDID data from a destination device
Writing data to an Epica DGX 144 input connector
Determining the Need for EDID Programming
Ideally the EDID analysis will have been completed during installation specification. Consideration
should be given to the use of DGX SC Fiber output boards and corresponding DGX SC Fiber Receivers
which (in almost every case) will remedy incompatible source and destination resolution issues. Specific
attention should be given to local output boards which do not provide automatic scaling via the
SmartScale™ functionality. If this was not possible but all of the system’s devices are now available,
the most effective way to proceed is to test if the signal from each of the source devices can be routed
through the Epica DGX 144 to each of the destination devices. If they can be routed, then EDID
programming is
not
necessary.
A method of control is not specified in the following instructions.
To determine if EDID programming is necessary:
1.
Route the first input to all of the applicable outputs.
2.
Check each destination display to verify that the picture is present, making note of any that are not.
3.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each of the remaining inputs.
Important:
If any of the destinations do not display a picture, analysis or editing of the EDID data
may be necessary prior to using the EDID Programmer. A variety of freeware tools can be found on
the web to help with these tasks.
