When an invalid checksum is detected, that byte (at the end of 128 bytes) is highlighted
in RED. This helps identify invalid EDID checksum values that can cause connectivity
problems.
If you perform an action that affects the EDID, it is possible for the checksum to
momentarily show ‘RED’ until the complete EDID has been updated on the screen.
You cannot “LEARN” an EDID that has an invalid checksum!
The GUI interface software WILL let you IMPORT EDID’s that contain invalid checksum
data for testing purposes.
2.9. Note about EDID Mixing
At power up, the default EDID stored within the device is loaded. This could be either the
factory default or a ‘Learned’ EDID.
If a functioning and valid SINK device is connected to the VSA-HA-DP ‘Output’ connector
AND the VIDEO mode is set to PASS-THRU, the EDID from the SINK will be read and
loaded into memory.
If the SINK EDID read is a simple 128 byte EDID (like a VGA monitor), a CEA-861
extension block (2nd 128 bytes) will be added to the EDID with a default native resolution
of 480p and with LPCM 2 channel audio.
If the SINK is disconnected from the VSA-HA-DP connector, the internally saved EDID
will be presented to the SOURCE mixed according to the AUDIO settings. Each time the
VIDEO or AUDIO EDID GUI controls are pressed, the EDID presented to the SOURCE is
would be as shown in the following table:
