EDID Copy
Compatibility issues can occur when EDID information is not properly
communicated between the source and the display. The B130-202
and B130-202A include an EDID copy feature which stores a monitor’s
EDID information in the transmitter and sends it to the source, ensuring
optimal compatibility.
The transmitter can only store EDID information copied from a single
monitor. You should copy the EDID information of the monitor that
has the lowest maximum supported resolution of all monitors being
connected. This monitor must also support video resolutions that are
supported by the other monitors.
For example, if you plan to use three monitors that support the
resolutions listed below, you should copy the EDID information from
Monitor A because the highest resolution it supports is 1600 x 1200,
which is lower than the highest supported resolutions of the other two
monitors. Also, Monitor A’s supported resolutions are also supported by
Monitors B and C.
A. 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
B. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
C. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 768, 1152 x
768, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
If you are not using the EDID copy feature, the transmitter will use a
default set of EDID information.
To use the EDID copy feature, follow the instructions below:
1. Determine the monitor to perform the EDID copy feature on per the
example in the EDID Copy section above.
2. Connect the powered-on monitor to the input port of the transmitter
unit.
3. Connect the external power supply to the transmitter unit and plug
it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
