DUETE-2/DuetD-2 USER MANUAL
CONFIGURATION
In this 2x2 video wall example, set the position of the decoder as follows:
First decoder: VW.ROW = 1 and VW.COLUMN = 1 Second decoder: VW.ROW = 1 and VW.COLUMN = 2
Third decoder: VW.ROW = 2 and VW.COLUMN = 1 Fourth decoder: VW.ROW = 2 and VW.COLUMN = 2
The display highlighted in dark blue indicates the position of the decoder that you are configuring in the video wall, based
on your settings.
h. Click Save to save the new settings. The unit will automatically reboot.
The units are now configured in video wall mode.
EDID
The default EDIDs that come with the DuetE-2 encoder cover a range of resolutions and audio formats that are widely supported.
There may be some instances where the default EDIDs do not produce the expected or desired results for a unique system, such as
for certain special resolutions, color-space options, and audio formats. In those cases, produce the desired result by capturing the
EDID settings from your display and updating the EDID on the DuetE-2 encoder. You can use EDID capture software such as Monitor
Asset Manager 2.9
(http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm) to copy the EDID from your display.
The EDID describes the formats for audio and video that an HDMI sync can process. The source device uses this information to
determine the audio and video format that is output. The source gets its EDID from the encoder. The DuetE-2 encoder is the only
device that is presenting an EDID to the source. No matter how many displays are in the system, the devices never report their EDID
to the source.
Most source devices are set to output according to the EDID it is receiving. Therefore, to make the source device output a different
audio or video format you must update the EDID on the DuetE-2 encoder.
CUSTOMIZING THE EDID
DuetE-2 encoders can import custom-built EDIDs. An EDID is a string of 256 bytes of information formatted in hexadecimal notation.
These bytes share information about all of the capabilities of the endpoint device, and different devices format the EDID in their own
way.
DuetE-2 allows for individual EDID settings to be selected for each encoder input. The EDIDs may be set using the Configuration
tab of the encoder web UI. VIDEO.EDID1 = HDMI1 IN, VIDEO.EDID2 = HDMI2 IN, VIDEO.EDID3 = USB-C IN.
The EDID file must be formatted properly in order to be imported to a DuetE-2 encoder.
1. Create a text file with the extension .edid.
2. Format the 256 bytes of EDID data as in the example below (substituting your values).
