Transmission Parameters
The device operates with a proprietary compression method. In default configuration, the device adapts
dynamically to the monitor’s resolution and image content. This configuration is suitable for almost all
conditions and should only be modified if image quality is not fully satisfactory. In exceptional cases there can
be dropped frames, loss of single pictures or color effects.
DDC Settings
By default, the device transmits the factory preset DDC information to the CPU. This information is suitable in
most cases. The download of the DDC information of the console monitor can be performed during normal
operation (See ‘Operation’ section below).
Uploading DDC Information
For special requirements, DDC information can be retrieved and uploaded as a binary file at both the
Transmitter unit and the Receiver unit. Connect your computer with a USB mini cable to the service port of the
Transmitter unit or Receiver unit. The data area of the unit is now accessible as a flash drive "Extender".
Copy the binary file containing your specific DDC information to the flash drive of the Transmitter unit or
Receiver unit. The current DDC information is replaced.
Retrieving DDC Information
Copy the file "DDC-EDID.bin" on the flash drive of the Transmitter unit to your computer. To open the binary
file, you have to install suitable software, e.g. WinDDCwrite
Reset to Factory DDC Information
