To install EDID Programmer software:
1.
Locate and open the installer <EDIDProgrammer_1.0.exe> on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at
www.amx.com.
2.
Follow the directions in the wizard.
Reading and Saving EDID Data from a Destination Device
Tip: The Save button in the EDID Programmer can be used to save the EDID information as an
.edid file, which can be opened as a text file (click on the Open button) and edited or opened
and written to an input (click the Write button).
The instructions below cover the situation in which the EDID Programmer is used to read the EDID
information from a destination device in the installation with a DVI connector (an HD-15 connector can
also be used). Additional information for using DVI cable is provided below the "read and save"
instructions.
To read and save EDID data:
1.
On the PC, open the EDID Programmer (FIG. 36 on page 64).
2.
Connect a DVI cable to the PC using the PC's spare monitor port (see "Using Cable Adapters"
below).
3.
Connect the open end of the DVI video cable to the destination device (typically a monitor) from
which the EDID information needs to be read.
4.
Click the Refresh Display List button to update the Available Displays drop down list.
5.
From the Available Displays drop down list, select the destination device from which you need to
read the EDID.
6.
Click the Read button to read the EDID information. The results display in the read-only area.
7.
Click the Save button (select location, enter file name, and click Save).
8.
Disconnect the DVI cable from the PC and from the destination device.
Using Cable Adapters
If your laptop has an HD-15 (VGA) port, you can use a DVI-to-VGA cable to connect the laptop's
HD-15 video port to a DVI cable attached to a destination device's DVI port. Alternatively, use the
following combination of adapters with a DVI-D cable to connect the laptop to the destination device:

Note: The setup of adapters and DVI-D cable in FIG. 34 passes EDID information but not video
signals.
Writing EDID Data to an Epica DG DVI Input Connector
The instructions that follow cover the situation in which the EDID Programmer is used to write EDID
information to the EDID chip for an input connector on a previously unprogrammed DG DVI input
board.
A previously unprogrammed DG RGBHV/HD-15 input board can be programmed using the same
instructions; use an HD-15 video cable instead of a DVI cable.
