Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪ Factory EDID list (F1-F146) the pre-programmed EDIDs, see the Factory EDID List in the Appendix section.
▪ Dynamic EDID list (D1-D2): the EDID of the last attached display device. The extender stores the last
EDID from the previously connected sink on each output port. Thus, an EDID can be shown even if
there is no device is connected to the output port at that moment.
▪ User memory locations (U1 – U14): they can be used to save custom EDIDs.
▪ Emulated EDID list (E1-E2): the currently emulated EDID for the input. The source column displays
the memory location that the current EDID was routed from. The source reads the EDID from the
Emulated EDID memory on the input port.
There are two types of emulation: static and dynamic.
▪ Static EDID emulation: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID
remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
▪ Dynamic EDID emulation: it can be enabled by selecting D1-D2 EDID memory. The attached monitor’s
EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID is changed
automatically.
INFO: The default emulated EDID is D1 both the transmitter and the receiver. The EDID, which is from the
attached monitor of HDMIOUT1A (O1) port of the receiver, is copied to all the input ports.
EDID Operations
Changing the Emulated EDID
Step 1. Choose the desired tab (Factory, Dynamic, or User EDID list) on the left panel and select an EDID.
Step 2. Select the Emulated tab on the right panel.
Step 3. Select the target port on the right panel (one or more ports can be selected); the EDID(s) will be
highlighted with a yellow cursor.
Step 4. Press the Transfer button to change the emulated EDID.
Learning an EDID
The process is the same as changing the emulated EDID; the only difference is the Destination panel: press
the User button. Thus, one or more EDIDs can be copied into the user memory either from the factory memory
or from a connected sink (Dynamic).
Exporting an EDID
Step 1. Select the desired EDID from the left panel (the line will be highlighted with yellow).
Step 2. Press the Export button to open the dialog box and save
