Using the EDID Minder to Read and Store EDID from a Display
During boot up, the DVI-D source device uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to obtain
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from the display device. This allows the output
signal to match the resolution and refresh rate of the display device.
The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx uses the Extron EDID Minder, which allows the user to store and use
EDID from any display device. To use this feature, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect all devices and cables from the transmitter and receiver.
2. Connect the desired display to the Local Monitor output of the transmitter. For best
results, the cable for this connection should be 15 feet (4.5 m) or shorter.
3. Apply power to the transmitter and the display device. If necessary, connect the power
supply to the transmitter.
4. Set the EDID Minder switch on the transmitter to the on (up) position (see
the figure at right).
5. Set the Default EDID switch to the off (down) position (see the figure at
right).
6. Set the Remote DDC to the off (down) position to allow DDC routing to
go to the local monitor (see the figure at right).
NOTE: The EDID Minder extracts information only from the local
monitor, not from the remote display.
7. Press and release the EDID Minder Store button. The LED next to the
switch turns from green to amber. This indicates that the transmitter
is reading and extracting the EDID from the display connected to the
local monitor output.
When the information has been successfully extracted and stored in non-volatile
memory, the LED returns to green.
