Setup and Operation

By default, the transmitter/receiver pair are set to extend video

signals with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. For display

devices that support this resolution and refresh rate, proceed to

step 7

. Otherwise, it is necessary for the transmitter to capture

and store the EDID of the display device, which is explained in

steps 1-6

.

1.

Ensure that the source device, the display device, the

transmitter, and the receiver are all powered off and that

the fiber optic cables are unplugged from the transmitter

and the receiver.

2.

Apply power to the transmitter by inserting the cable from

the external power supply into the input jack. The LED

should illuminate a solid blue.

3.

Press and release the EDID minder programming button

by gently inserting a pointed device, such as a paper clip,

into the recess on the side of the transmitter. The blue

LED should blink twice and turn off, although power is

still connected. The transmitter is ready to capture EDID

information from the display device.

4.

Power on the display device.

5.

Connect the transmitter directly to the DVI input of the

display device. The blue LED on the transmitter blinks

rapidly for a few seconds to indicate that it is reading and

storing EDID information from the display device. When

the information has been captured and stored, the blue

LED lights steadily blue.

N

The transmitter must remain connected to both the
display device and the power supply for the entire time
that the EDID capture is taking place

6.

Once the capture and storage are complete and the blue

LED is no longer blinking, disconnect the transmitter from

both the power and the display device.

N

Once the transmitter has captured the EDID information
from the display device, the information is stored on
an EEPROM chip in the transmitter. Therefore, this
calibration needs to be performed only once, as long as
the display device is not changed.

If the display device is changed, repeat steps 1-6 to
capture and store the EDID information for the new
device.
