11.2 Adding Reference EDIDs for Use in Testing HDMI Devices

You can import EDIDs for use in testing HDMI source and sink devices. You can compare a reference EDID
stored in the 780C with the EDID of an HDMI sink device the 780C is connected to. You can also test HDMI
source devices to test how they will respond to a variety of EDIDs you have stored in the 780C.

11.2.1 Workflow for Importing EDIDs into the 780C

In order to import and use EDIDs in the 780C you must take the following high level steps (detailed procedures
are provided further below):
 Place the 780C's USB interface in the Disk mode. This is not the default mode for the USB interface.

Create.xml EDID files using Quantum Data EDID Editor utilities available with the 882 or the 980. You can
use the EDID Editor utility provided with the 980 Manager application available from the Quantum Data
website on the downloads page at: www.quantumdata/com/downloads.

Transfer the .xml EDID file(s) to the EDID directory of 780C over the USB interface.

Navigate to EDID Test screen to view and use the EDIDs
Alternatively you can load an EDID from an HDMI sink device and store its EDID for use as a reference EDID in
the EDID compare test. Procedures for this feature are also provided below.

11.2.2 Procedures for Importing EDIDs into the 780C

Use the following procedures to add custom EDIDs to your 780C.
1. Create a new custom EDID or modify an existing EDID with the Quantum Data EDID Editor. Be sure to
save the file. These will be saved as .xml files by the EDID Editor.
