5.2 Acquiring the EDID
Initially, the VM-2Hxl operates with the factory default EDID 1
You can acquire the EDID
. This lets
you connect the power before connecting one of the acceptors or sources.

• One output (the relevant output illuminates)
from:
• The default EDID (both output LEDs blink)
• Two connected outputs, the auto-mix mode 3
When pressing the EDID SETUP button briefly, the OUT LEDs indicate
which type of EDID was last acquired. If the:
(both output LEDs
illuminate)
• 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 Auto-Mix 3 EDID is
stored in the non-volatile memory
• OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs blink, 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 SETUP button to select the desired EDID.
The OUT LEDs illuminate in the following cycle: OUT 1, OUT 2, both
illuminate (auto-mix 3 ) and both blink (default).
4. Release the button when reaching the desired set up 4 .
The EDID is now acquired.
1 The VM-2Hxl reads the EDID, which is stored in the non-volatile memory
2 This is usually done only 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
3 The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs. For example, if several displays with different
resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included
in the EDID
4 If you set the machine to acquire the EDID from an output that is not connected, the default EDID is acquired
