Introduction When a video source is connected to a display, EDID information is shared between devices to ensure video and audio performance is aligned. However, if you are using a third party device, such as a video extender, between your source and display, the EDID information may not pass through correctly.
Mode switch The Mode switch on this EDID Emulator and Copier lets you set the operation mode depending upon your application. Reference the glossaries below to determine the best mode for your application. PC mode PC mode lets you copy EDID settings from your display for use with a computer system and/or emulate EDID settings for use with your computer that are commonly supported by most computers and in the performance range of your display.
Rotary switch The Rotary switch on this EDID Emulator and Copier is used to define different settings depending upon the mode the EDID Emulator and Copier is set to. It may be necessary to review the tables below to determine what settings are ideal for your application.

AV mode enables the EDID Emulator and Copier to work with consumer electronics equipment. Even if your equipment doesn’t support the exact resolution that’s specified by the rotary dial, each setting supports a range of resolutions and refresh rates. The table below lists resolutions and refresh rates that are still supported by each setting.
Dip switches The dip switches on this EDID Emulator and Copier enable you to define different settings. The mode your EDID Emulator and Copier is set to changes how the dip switches work as can the dip switches in relation to each other. It may be necessary to review the information below to determine what settings are ideal for your application.
