3. EDID Algorithm
In some cases display problems may occur due to incorrect EDID communication
between the display monitor and the unit or inappropriate EDID data
programmed by display manufactures. This function allows the system either to
read the necessary EDID information from the unit or to copy EDID from EDID
compliant displays.
NOTICE: After applying EDID Algorithm functions as described below, in some
situations, users may need to re-plug the video cable, or even reboot the
connected source system to have new setting become effective.
3-1 EDID Copy (EDID Ghost)
If the unit is insufficient for EDID of the attached displays, it is suggested copying
EDID from the displays.
Copy (new) monitor EDID
Step 1. Apply the power to the unit.
Step 2. Connect the (EDID compliant) monitor to the Video Port 1 on the Unit
and power on the monitor.
Step 3. Press the EDID Copy button for 3~6 sec. and release the button RIGHT
AFTER the Input LED flashes green.
Step 4. The LED flashes red and green alternately and then lights green
indicating the copy successfully.
Otherwise, if the Input LED flashes RED, it means that
a. The monitor is not properly connected.
b. The monitor is not powered on.
c. EDID data of the monitor is not applicable. Try to repeat Step 3 to 4 again.
3-2 EDID Auto-mixing
Automatically detect the specifications of the connected monitors.
Step 1. Apply the power to the unit.
Step 2. Press the button EDID COPY (9~15 sec.) and release the button RIGHT
AFTER the Input LED flashes [green] & [red].
Step 3. The Input LED flashes [green + red] & [red] alternately (2 sec.) and then
returns to normal status; it indicates that the setting is completed.
4. Factory Default Setting
In case your settings are misbehaving, resetting it to the factory default (including
EDID Setting and Priority Setting) might be just the way you are looking for.
Step 1. Press and hold the button "EDID COPY" and apply power to the Unit.
Step 2. Release the button RIGHT AFTER the Input LED flashes red
Step 3. The LED flashes red and green alternately and then lights green

NOTE: If users encounter no screen display in computer connection, you may...
1. Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached.
2. Set your display device's (TV, monitor, etc.) input source as DVI/HDMI.
3. Check the PC BIOS configuration about the video output setting.
4. Connect your video source to the display DIRECTLY to check if the video
signal gets through.
NOTICE:
1. At least one monitor connection to the splitter unit is required when powering
on the source device.
2. The splitter unit is required to connect to the computer before the computer
powered on.
3. It is recommended using identical brand and type of displays.
If not, setting up equivalent resolution for each display is suggested.
4. The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the quality of video
source, cable and display device used. Low quality cables degrade output
signal causing elevated noise levels. Please use the proper cable and make
sure the display device is capable of handling the resolution and refresh rate
selected. Interference from nearby electrical devices can have an adverse
effect on signal quality as well.
