Edid Emulators; Installation; Turn On Backup Mode - Dataton WATCHPAX 30 User Manual

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a standardized data format for a display, such as a
projector, screen or monitor, to describe its performance capability to a video source (in this case,
WATCHPAX 30). The information exchanged in an EDID handshake includes the resolution, refresh
rates and timings available in the display.

INSTALLATION

Plug the emulator directly to the HDMI outputs on the back of the WATCHPAX 30. Connect the
display's cable to the emulator. The emulator will be in default mode. Please note: If you change the
resolution to one supported by the emulator, but not by the display, the display will not work.

TURN ON BACKUP MODE

Disconnect the cable between the display and the emulator. The emulator will turn on backup mode
and its LED will start flashing. When backup mode is turned on, two different modes can be selected:
A. Copy display EDID while the LED is flashing, connect the display to the emulator. The emulator will
copy the EDID data. The data will be permanently stored in the emulator, even when it is removed
from the video source.
B. Reset the emulator to default settings while the LED is flashing, do not connect anything to the
emulator. The LED will stop flashing after 10 seconds, and the emulator will recover to the default
factory settings.
IMPORTANT: When the emulator is connected to the running WATCHPAX 30, do not unplug the con-
nected monitor cable, otherwise the stored EDID data can be erased.
