Setup and Operation
When using the DVI 104 Tx/Rx for the first time or if the display
device is changed, it is essential to set up the EDID Minder.
The setup process places EDID information on a EEPROM chip
in the transmitter, which allows the video source to boot up
correctly. This process is described below in steps 1-6. If you
have already set up the EDID Minder, proceed to step 7.

Ensure that the source, the display, the transmitter, and the
receiver are all powered off and that the fiber optic cables
are unplugged from the transmitter and the receiver.
Apply power to the transmitter by inserting the cable from
the external power supply into the input jack. The LEDs
should illuminate a solid blue.
Press and release the EDID Minder programming button
by gently inserting a pointed device, such as a paper clip,
into the recess on the side of the transmitter. The blue
LED should blink twice and turn off, although power is
still connected. The transmitter is ready to capture EDID
information from the display device.
Power on the display device.
Connect the transmitter directly to the DVI input of the
display device. The blue LEDs on the transmitter blink
rapidly for a few seconds to indicate that it is reading and
storing EDID information from the display device.
When the information has been captured and stored, the
blue LEDs stop blinking. They may light a solid blue or
they may turn off, depending on the display device.
The transmitter must remain connected to both the
display device and the power supply for the entire time
that the EDID capture is taking place
Once the capture and storage are complete and the blue
LEDs are no longer blinking, disconnect the transmitter
from both the power and the display device.
Once the transmitter has captured the EDID information
from the display device, the information is stored on
an EEPROM chip in the transmitter. Therefore, this
calibration needs to be performed only once, as long as
the display device is not changed.
If the display device is changed, repeat steps 1-6 to
capture and store the EDID information for the new
device.
