Capturing the EDID
The 616T and 616R are connected via one dual link channel. The EDID of the
display device is captured by the transmitter for the computer to read.
The factory default EDID is set to WQXGA (2560x1600). If your display has this
resolution, you do not need to capture the EDID.
You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 616T so that when the
computer connects to the 616T, it reads the virtual EDID information and identifies
the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the connected
display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be connected and
disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If the display device is
replaced, the new EDID must be set on the
616T transmitter.
To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:
1. Power the display on.
2. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 616T, and connect
the adapter to the mains electricity.
3. Push the EDID button (illustrated in Figure 1 ), using a thin screwdriver.
The status LED lights.
4. Connect the 616T unit directly to the display device.
The status LED flashes rapidly while reading the EDID and turns off after
about 7-8 seconds.
