The Edid Programmer (For Use With 8X8 Dvi Board Only) - AMX Optima AVS-OP-1616-110 Instruction Manual

To determine which device triggered the protection condition:
1.
Detach destination devices 1 through 4 from the connectors (do not cycle power to any equipment).
2. Attach Device 1 to Output 1 (normal operation)
Attach Device 2 to Output 2 (normal operation)
Attach Device 3 to Output 3 (protection condition – none of the three devices have power).
3.
Detach all three devices.
4.
Reattach Devices 1 and 2 (normal operation) and attach Device 4 (normal operation).
5.
Replace or eliminate Device 3.
The protection condition responds to a cumulative power draw. For example, the protection condition
may occur after Device 4 is attached because its current draw puts the cumulative power draw over the
board's limit, not because Device 4 itself is defective. It may be necessary to experiment with the order
of reattaching devices. One method to help isolate the defective device is to attach the devices in reverse
order.

The EDID Programmer (for use with 8x8 DVI board only)

EDID Programmer software is provided for programming the EDID EEPROM chips on the Optima
8x8 DVI board (FG1046-659) if necessary. This software is available on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at
www.amx.com.
Note: The Optima 4x4 DVI board (FG1046-479) does not currently support the EDID
Programmer.
EDID Overview
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure established by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) to enable plug-and-play support by enabling easy configuration of a
computer's graphics subsystem based on the capabilities of the attached display device.
EDID information includes items such as the following:
When a computer is directly connected to a display device, it can use the display device's EDID
information to determine an initial compatible video signal to send. With the computer's display
controls, the user can modify this selection to another compatible signal based on the provided EDID
information.
With High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) (which requires EDID on the display devices) using
EDID information has extended beyond computers to other source devices, such as DVD players. As
long as the source device sends a compatible signal, the plug-and-play feature will work.
Note: The DVI board does not support HDCP required compliant signals.
