Edid Minder - Extron electronics DP DA2 User Manual

EDID Minder

During boot up, the source device uses the Auxiliary channel to obtain
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from the display device. This
allows the output signal to match the resolution and refresh rate of the
display device.
EDID Minder allows the user to store and use EDID values for another
display device to ensure the output signal is compatible with both the
display devices.
EDID Store push button and LED
Recording EDID
1. Connect the display device that will provide EDID information to output 1.
2.
Power on the display and the DP DA2.
3. Set DIP switch 1 in the Stored (down) position (see the
following page for more information). The EDID Minder LED lights red until you start
recording EDID.
4. Press the EDID Store push button. The button is recessed (you may need a small screw
driver).
The EDID Minder LED lights amber while the EDID is being stored and turns green when
the record process is successfully completed.
EDID information is read from the display device connected to output 1. The learned EDID
is stored in a non-volatile memory and is retained after a power cycle or after a new display
device is connected to output 1.
The new EDID is then available with DIP switch 1 is in the Stored position. Each time a new
EDID is recorded, it overwrites the existing data and is available with DIP switch 1 in the
Stored position.
NOTE:
EDID Minder LED
The LED shows the status of the EDID recording process:
• Off — DIP switch 1 is set to Default.
Red — DIP switch 1 is set to Stored, but external EDID has not been stored (the
•
factory default EDID is still present).
• Amber — New EDID information is currently being read and stored.
Green — External EDID has been stored.
•
If the EDID for a display device is corrupted or cannot be read, the DP DA2 will
continue to use the currently stored EDID.
