EDID Control
This unit uses an EDID Management application which allows the user to copy the EDID from an attached
display, edit an existing EDID file stored on the PC or create a basic EDID from scratch. The EDID can then
be uploaded to the unit for use. Please obtain the EDID Management software from your authorized dealer
and save it in a directory where you can easily find it.
Before connecting the unit to your PC, please install the EDID Management software. After the installation
has successfully completed an icon for it will appear on the windows desktop. Launch the software by double-
clicking on the icon and the EDID Management device detection window will open up on your screen
After launching the software, power the unit on and then connect it to the PC/laptop using an RS-232 cable.
Click on the “Search” button and any detected units will be displayed in the list. Clicking on a detected unit will
open the EDID Management window.
• Mode Select:
Under the “EDID Controller” tab the user may select the EDID to be sent to the selected
HDMI input from 8 Internal, 8 External (bypass) or 2 User EDID options. When a new EDID is selected,
the EDID used by the unit will change immediately.
• Save/Upload/Analysis:
EDIDs may also be saved, uploaded or analyzed.
• Save:
Any EDID from the unit or a connected HDMI display can be saved to your PC as a *.bin file by
selecting the EDID source from the drop-down menu and then clicking the “Save” icon.
• Upload:
Previously saved EDID files (*.bin format) can be re- uploaded into any of the “User” EDID slots
by selecting the User EDID to replace from the dropdown and then clicking the “Upload”
icon. Before
accepting the upload, the software will check and verify that the EDID’s header and checksum values are
acceptable.

To analyze any EDID stored within the unit, select the EDID to view from the dropdown and

ily edited to match the user’s preferences.
