cable to the extender unit and then to the power outlet. The unit is
immediately powered ON.
After the extender units are initialized, the attached DVI source and
monitor can be powered on.
ATTENTION! The laser becomes enabled any time the transmitter
is powered on, disregarding that it was disabled before or not. This
is done to avoid accidental laser loss problems.
INFO: If the power LED does not light up upon power-up, the unit is
most likely damaged and further use is not advised. Please contact
support@lightware.com.

The EDID memory is non-volatile and can store 99 EDIDs. The memory
structure is as follows:
Description Rotary switch state
Memory bank
number in LDC
Factory Preset EDID list #01 - #60 F01 - F60
User programmable slots #61 - #99 U1 - U39
Last attached monitorβs

INFO: The attached monitorβs EDID is stored automatically, until
a new monitor is attached to the local monitor output. In case of
powering the unit off, the last attached monitorβs EDID remains in
non-volatile memory.

INFO: Factory EDIDs do not include HDMI support. If you need
audio, you can create an EDID with HDMI support with the Easy
EDID Creator and upload it to user EDID memory. See the Creating
an EDID section for more information.

ξξξξξξξ£Switching EDID
The user can select an EDID to emulate on the input, this is called EDID
routing. There are two types of the emulation: static and dynamic.
βͺ Static EDID emulation happens, when an EDID from the Factory or
User EDID list is routed to an input.
βͺ Dynamic EDID emulation occurs, when an attached monitorβs EDID
is routed to an input. In this case the emulated EDID changes
automatically, if a new monitor is attached to the output, by
simply copying the data from the monitor.
Use a screwdriver to change the memory address on the rotary switches

tens value, the right switch gives the ones value of the EDID. (Location
#17 is selected by the rotary switches in the current example.) After
either one of the rotary switches has been
rotated the unit waits approximately two
seconds before the selected EDID becomes
active. Check the status of the device:

(ON - green) The selected EDID memory is valid.

The selected EDID memory is invalid

Address #00 has a special function. If a monitor is connected to the
OUTPUT, then its EDID is copied to the INPUT connector. If no monitor
is connected to the OUTPUT then the EDID copied to the INPUT
connector is the EDID of the last connected monitor.

DVD players do not sense the HOT PLUG signal, and even if EDID
has been changed, the set resolution is not affected. In this case
the source device must be restarted, or powered OFF and ON again.
