5.1 Acquiring the EDID
Initially, the VM-2DP operates with the factory default EDID (the VM-2DP reads the
EDID, which is stored in its non-volatile memory). This lets you connect the power
before connecting one of the acceptors or sources.
The EDID is usually acquired once, when the machine is being set up in an
installation. Once acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further
acquisition is not necessary.
You can acquire the EDID from:
• One output (the relevant output blinks)
• The default EDID (both output LEDs blink)
When pressing the EDID SETUP button momentarily, the OUT LEDs indicate which
type of EDID was last acquired. If the:
• OUT 1 LED illuminates, the OUT 1 EDID is stored in the non-volatile memory
• OUT 2 LED illuminates, the OUT 2 EDID is stored in the non-volatile memory
• OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs illuminate, the default EDID is stored in the non-
volatile memory
To acquire the EDID, do the following:
1. Connect the power.
2. Connect the output or outputs from which you want to acquire the EDID.
3. Press and hold the EDID SELECT button to select the desired EDID.
The OUT LEDs illuminate in the following cycle: OUT 1, OUT 2 and both
OUT 1 and OUT 2 blink (default).
4. Release the button when reaching the desired set up.
The EDID is now acquired.
If you set the machine to acquire the EDID from an output that is not
connected, the default EDID is acquired.
