Dynamic EDID emulation occurs, when an attached monitor’s EDID is routed to an
input. In this case the emulated EDID changes automatically, if a new monitor is
attached to the output, by simply copying the data from the monitor.
Changing the emulated EDID at one or all inputs
Step 1.
Select the Emulated EDID List in one of the list window areas in the drop down list.
Step 2.
Select the desired EDID list in the other list window from which you want to copy
(route) the EDID.
Step 3.
To change the emulated EDID at
a)
one input, drag and drop the EDID to the desired input location.
b)
all inputs at the same time, right click on the desired new EDID and select
“Switch to all Inputs” from the pop-up menu.
Step 4.
Click Yes in the pop-up dialog window to confirm EDID change.
Info:
If dynamic emulation is established, the emulated EDID will be changed on all inputs that
are affected, every time a new monitor is connected to the output which was the source of
the dynamic EDID routing. If the monitor is disconnected from the output, the last EDID
remains emulated for the sources. This feature helps especially rental technicians or
system integrators to keep the source continuously transmitting the signal, and adopt the
system for new incoming display devices.
Info:
Power ON/OFF cycle will not affect the emulated EDID or other settings.
Info:
EDID routing procedure causes a status change, hence it is reported back to the
CONTROL SOFTWARE within 2-3 seconds.
Learning EDID from attached display device
The system is able to learn the EDID from a connected display device and store it in one
of the user programmable memory locations.
Step 1.
Select the User Memory in the drop-down menu in one of the list windows.
Step 2.
Select the EDID to be saved from the other list window.
Step 3.
Drag and drop the selected EDID to the desired User Memory location.
Step 4.
Click Yes in the pop-up dialog window to confirm EDID change.
Saving EDID from memory to file
The control software is able to download EDID from the matrix and to save it as an EDID
file (.dat file extension).
Step 1.
Right click on the EDID to be saved.
Step 2.
Click on the “Save to file” in the pop-up window.
Step 3.
The Matrix Controller Software downloads the desired EDID and a save dialog
appears. It may take a few seconds to download the EDID. If the save dialog is
shown, type in the file name, and press Save button. After the process was
completed, an “EDID saved!” message confirms the command.
