Troubleshooting Distributed System - EDID Issue When it comes to diagnosing an Audio Video distribution system, keep in mind that there are mul- tiple ways to use the Fox & Hound to track down a problem. Refer to the image below for steps 1 through XX where we will cover the steps to diagnose the symptom of no Dolby Vision at the dis- play (even though all devices in the system are capable). - Page 25 7. Investigate why the sink's (TV/Projector) EDID states that it is not Dolby Vision capable even though the manufacturer advertises that it is capable. · Verify with the manufacturer that it is Dolby Vision capable. · CHECK FIRMWARE!!!! Although advertised, some of the display's features may not be avail- able "out of the box".

Reasons to copy an EDID to the analyzer The analyzer has the ability to copy and save an EDID from any repeater or sink (you can copy and save up to two at a time). This is helpful when troubleshooting a system in many situations that are common but not limited to the following examples: ·... - Page 27 Common Issues Fixed Easily with the Fox and Hound Troubleshooting Kit Sparkles - Sparkles are a telltale sign of insufficient cables (for example cables that cannot pass the required bandwidth). Using both the generator and analyzer test EVERY HDMI cable in the system for functionality and capability. Verify that EVERY cable can pass the required band- width for the system to function properly.

Discolored video - Discolored video is generally associated with a color space mis- match. Using the analyzer in place of the display press the INFO button to view the signal info and verify whether the colorspace is RGB or YCbCr (YCbCR, YUV, YCC, and YC are all interchangeable). If there is a mismatch in color space between the source and the sink you may see the image but the image is discolored (typically green or purple). -
