Gefen HDMI EDID Detective Plus - Manual

Keep HDMI sources and displays in perfect sync
High Definition displays with HDMI inputs use EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to ensure that a connected Hi-Def source sends
compatible audio and video signals. In some scenarios, this data can
be lost, resulting in an incorrect signal or complete loss of audio
and/or video. The Gefen HDMI EDID Detective Plus has been designed
specifically to address this issue by recording the display EDID date and
making it available to the Hi-Def source reliably and on a continuous
basis. With DDC re-clocking technology, the reliability of HDCP
handshaking is improved, ensuring that the Hi-Def source always
receives the correct EDID. Using the Gefen Syner-G PC software or
terminal emulation via USB, the installer can also manipulate/modify
the EDID data to meet installation-specific requirements and resolve
system-specific compatibility issues. The HDMI EDID Detective Plus has
been designed for quick and easy programming and installation.
How It Works
To program the EDID, connect the included HDMI cable from the
Detective to the HDMI input of the display. Connect the included power
supply to the unit and plug the power cord into an available electrical
outlet. Disable the Write Protect Switch, set the DIP switches to the
appropriate positions, and press the Program button. Once the EDID
programming is completed, the display and power supply can be
disconnected without losing the recorded EDID. If a suitable EDID
cannot be recorded, there are six pre-programmed EDID profiles and
six user-programmable EDID banks that can be used. Instructions for
selecting one of the pre-programmed EDID profiles and for copying/
uploading additional EDIDs are outlined in the user's manual.
Connect an HDMI cable, up to the recommended maximum cable
length, from the Hi-Def source to the HDMI input on the Detective.
Re-connect the included DC power supply and plug the power cord
into an available electrical outlet. Power on the source and the display
and a pristine Ultra High Definition picture will appear.
