Acquiring the EDID
Initially the VM-24HC operates with the factory default EDID stored in the non-
volatile memory. The source reads the EDID from the device when the device is
plugged in or powered on.
This is usually done only once when the unit is being set up in an installation. Once acquired,
the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.
The VM-24HC reads the EDID, which is stored in the non-volatile memory.
The EDID can be acquired from:
One output
The default EDID
Up to four connected outputs using the Auto-mix Mode
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.
Repeatedly pressing the EDID SELECT button cycles through the EDID sources in
the following order:
If you attempt to acquire the EDID from an output that is not connected the default EDID is
acquired.
Output 1 (Output 1 LED lights)
Output 2 (Output 2 LED lights)
Output 3 (Output 3 LED lights)
Output 4 (Output 4 LED lights)
Default EDID (all LEDs light)
Auto-Mix EDID (the LEDs flash in a running sequence)
To store the selected EDID, press EDID READ as described in the following
example.
To cancel the EDID modification wait for a few seconds without touching any button.
To select the EDID from Output 3:
1. Press the EDID SELECT button repeatedly until OUTPUT 3 LED lights.
