Page 24: Edid Internal And Default
Video output devices transmit their EDID to the connected graphics card via the Display Data Channel (DDC). Your 3-Channel DVI Extender TX uses all twelve optical fi bers in your fi beroptic cable exclusively for signal transmission. Therefore it is not possible to transmit the EDID of the monitor from the 3-Channel DVI Extender RX back to the computer, connected to the 3- Channel DVI Extender TX. - Page 25 EDID of the connected video output device is automatically read by the 3-Channel DVI Extender and saved in an EEPROM for each DVI IN port. The respective LED will fl ash four times during the scanning process. You can then switch off your 3-Channel DVI Extender.
