3. Power up the 980 Protocol Analyzer using the power rocker switch on the back. Then press the power on
button on the front panel.
6.15.1 Configuring the 980 with an EDID
Use the procedures below to provision the 980 Rx port with an EDID. Typically when using the Encrypted Link
Analyzer you will want to provision the 980 Rx port with the EDID of the downstream sink device. However there
are exceptions. For example, if the EDID of the downstream sink is flawed in some way you may wish to use a
standard known-good EDID provided by the 980.
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 in the 980 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. If you are in Pass-Through or Encrypted Link
Analyzer mode you can also read the EDID of the downstream display (connected to the Tx port of the 980)
and then provision the 980 Rx port with that EDID.
Select an EDID file by activating the Set 980 Rx EDID (shown on the screen below).
