1 About the EDID Designer
The EDID Designer is a PC-based program that lets you create, modify and
save EDIDs on a computer. You can then download the EDID to USER
memory in various Kramer devices. It gives the AV technician a strong and
flexible troubleshooting tool for diagnosing display problems.
The EDID Designer connects to a Kramer device either via an
RS-232/Ethernet port or via a USB port. If connecting through a USB port,
a USB driver must be installed prior to installing the EDID Designer.
Presently, the EDID Designer can only be used with the VP-81KSi and it
connects via the RS-232 or Ethernet port.
