Acquiring the EDID

Initially, the VM-2HDCPxl operates with the factory default EDID. This lets you

connect the power before connecting one of the acceptors or the source.

This is usually done only once, when the machine is being set up in an installation. Once
acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary

You can acquire the EDID from:

One output (the relevant output illuminates)

The default EDID (both output LEDs flash)

Two connected outputs, the auto-mix mode (both output LEDs illuminate)

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.
