Configuring the 980 with an EDID

Use the procedures below to provision the 980 with an EDID.
To provision the EDID:
1. (optional) Load the EDID to use in the 980 Protocol Analyzer. This is the EDID that the 980 will be emulating.
The default EDID has a preferred timing of 1080p60 with a maximum TMDS rate of 165MHz. You can
provision the 980 with a different EDID. Sample EDIDs are available from the Quantum Data website on the
downloads page (http://www.quantumdata.com/support/980readme.asp#edid). You can download these
EDIDs to the host PC where the 980 Manager is running. Select an EDID file by activating the Set 980 Rx
EDID (shown on the screen below).
The dialog box shown below opens up enabling you to select an EDID to assign to the 980's Rx port. Note that
there are two checkbox options on the dialog box. The following is a description of each:
 Permanently set the 980's EDID – This means that the EDID that you provision will persist through a
reboot of the 980. Otherwise the default 980 EDID will be reprovisioned when a reboot occurs.
 Issue Hot Plug – This means that the 980 will issue a hot plug when you click the OK activation button on
this dialog box.
