Before using the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective, the unit must be programmed with
an EDID. Once programmed, the EDID data will be read by the source, providing all the
necessary details of the type of signal that the display (or other sink device) can process.
There are two ways in which to program the booster: 1) The EDID data can come from
an external source, such as a display or A/V receiver. 2) The booster can be programmed
using any of the 6 Default EDID profiles .
Programming an External EDID
1.
Begin by powering-on the display or other sink device containing the EDID to be
recorded.
2.
Connect an HDMI cable from the sink device to the
HDMI Out
port on the booster.
3.
Set all DIP switches to the OFF (up) position, as shown below.
4.
Set the
WR
(write) switch to the
E
position in order to allow the EDID to be written to
the booster.
5. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the booster. The
Power
LED will glow
bright green.
6. Press and hold the
Program
button on the booster, until the
Power
LED begins to
flash rapidly. The Power LED will continue to flash as the EDID is recorded by the
booster. This process only takes about 1 second.
