Power is applied and the DVI Detective Plus reads and stores the display’s EDID to the internal memory on the DVI Detective Plus. Connect the DVI Detective Plus between the source and the display and it will never lose EDID again.
OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING THE DVI DETECTIVE PLUS • Before programming the EDID, make sure all DIP switches are in the OFF (down) position and the write protect switch is in the E (write enabled) position.
Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, 2k, and 3840 x 2400 (Dual Link) • HDCP-compliant • No power required after initial programming • Compact unit hides well behind equipment Package Includes (1) DVI Detective Plus (1) 1 ft. DVI cable (M-M) (1) 5V DC power supply (1) Quick Start Guide...
PANEL DESCRIPTIONS Programming Button Press and hold this button to program an EDID. See page 8 for more information on recording an EDID. DVI In Connect the included DVI cable from this DVI port to the source device. DIP Switches Used to select pre-programmed EDIDS.
Set all four DIP switches in the OFF (down) position, as shown in the illustration below. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the DVI Detective Plus. The power LED will glow bright green if the sink device contains a valid EDID. If the sink’s EDID is corrupt or invalid, then the power LED will glow bright red.
Set the write switch to the “D” position (disabled) in order to prevent an accidental erasure of the stored EDID. Use the included DVI cable to connect the source to the DVI Detective Plus. IMPORTANT: If the source uses HDCP, then DIP switch 4 must be enabled (in the ON position) in order to enable HDCP pass-through.
HD resolutions. Asterisks (“*”) indicate native resolutions. Make sure that the write switch on the DVI Detective Plus is in the “E” position and that all DIP switches are in the OFF (down) position.
OPERATING THE DVI DETECTIVE PLUS Writing an EDID using a source device/signal generator The DVI Detective Plus allows a signal generator (or other source device) to write an EDID to the Detective. This provides additional flexibility when programming custom timings and refresh rates.
