Appendix E – DDC – EDID table acquisition procedure
When power is first applied to the remote monitor and the receiver unit, the
DDC – EDID table information is acquired from the monitor connected to the
receiver unit. The receiver unit sends this information to the transmitter each
time a link is established. If the sent DDC – EDID table does not match the one
saved in the transmitter, the new table is saved to the transmitter’s flash
memory.
When the PC is booted, it obtains the DDC – EDID information table from the
transmitter unit. This information is obtained only once when the PC is booted.
The following initial power up procedure should be followed:
1- Connect all cabling and turn on the remote monitor.
2- Apply power to the receiver unit.
3- Boot the PC (power to the transmitter is applied when power is applied
to the computer.
When replacing the remote monitor, the same power up procedure should be
followed.
