VM-2DH - Connecting the VM-2DH 7
4.1 Acquiring the EDID
Initially the VM-2DH 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-2DH reads the EDID, which is stored in the non-volatile memory
The VM-2DH provides the ability to acquire the EDID from:
•
One output (the relevant output LED lights)
•
Two connected outputs in Auto-Mix mode (both output LEDs are lit)
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.
•
The initial, default EDID (both output LEDs flash)
Pressing the EDID button briefly causes the output LEDs to indicate the source of
the EDID that was last acquired. If the:
•
HDMI OUT LED lights, the HDMI OUT EDID was stored
•
DVI OUT LED lights, the DVI OUT EDID was stored
•
Both OUT LEDs light, the Auto-Mix EDID was stored
•
Both OUT LEDs flash, the default EDID is stored
To acquire the EDID:
1. Connect the power.
2. Connect the output(s) from which you want to acquire the EDID.
3. Press and hold the EDID button to select the desired EDID source.
The OUTPUT LEDs light in the following cycle:
 HDMI OUT
 DVI OUT
 Both LEDS (Auto-Mix)
