EDID Configuration
In some cases display problems may occur due to incorrect EDID communication
between the display monitor and the unit or inappropriate EDID data programmed by
display manufactures. This EDID Copy feature allows the system either automatically
provide the necessary EDID to display or manually copy EDID from EDID compliant
displays via push button.
Auto EDID Configuration
The system can automatically read EDID from your display while two RJ-45 ports
(Video & Aux) are in connection.
Manual EDID Configuration (EDID Copy / EDID Ghost)
While using only one CATx cable, it is suggested applying EDID Copy first.
Step 1. Use CATx cable for connection between Tx & Rx on Aux RJ-45 Jack. Apply
power to Receiver Unit.
Step 2. Connect the monitor (EDID compliant) to Video Out on the Receiver Unit
and power on the monitor.
Step 3. Press the button “EDID Copy” on Transmitter Unit and release the button
RIGHT AFTER the LED flashes green.
Step 4. The LED flashes green & red and then it lights blue indicating copy
successfully. Otherwise, if the LED flashes RED, it means that
a. The monitor is not properly connected.
b. The monitor is not powered on.
c. EDID data of the monitor is not applicable.
Try to repeat Step 3 to 4 again.
