DA2DVI-DL – User's Manual
1.1. Description
Lightware's DA2DVI-DL is an EDID emulator and repeater that can
store 79 EDIDs. It emulates and keeps a fixed EDID for the source, so
it can provide stable signal which is distributed to the two outputs.
Thanks to our Advanced EDID Management, the device can trick
the DVI source (PC computer, laptop, etc.) by emulating any DVI/
HDMI display (LCD monitor, projector) for continuous video output –
even if the AV system is disconnected or powered down. With EDID
emulation, the user can set up any DVI or HDMI output resolution,
regardless of the used projector or monitor. This ensures that the
overall system resolution can be controlled. There are 50 factory and
29 user programmable presets available, and the last attached display
device's EDID is also stored separately on address #00, to be able to
copy it to the input (repeater mode).
DA2DVI-DL can be rack mounted or used standalone. The unit is
equipped with the highest grade gold plated connectors and gold
plated printed circuit boards to ensure reliable connections and long-
term operation.
With the Easy EDID Creator (that is built in Lightware Device Controller
Software) users can create their own EDID by completing four simple
steps. More experienced users can use the Advanced EDID Editor to
manage every possible setting in the EDID, which they can upload to
the memory of the DA2DVI-DL.
