Page 18: Advanced Edid Management
Problem: „I have changed to a different EDID on the DVI-OPT-TX220-Pro to have a different resolution but nothing happens.” Solution: Some graphics cards and video sources read out the EDID only after power-up and later they don’t sense that EDID has been changed. You need to restart your source to make it read out the EDID again. - Page 19 DVI-OPT-TX220-Pro, DVI-OPT-RX220-Pro User’s Manual The Pixel Accurate Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors: Intra-pair skew: skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g. Data2- and Data2+). It’s caused by different wire lengths or slightly different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in DVI cable.

Picture is not displayed or distorted Usually, if the system seems not to transport the DVI signal as expected, the best strategy for troubleshooting is to check the signal integrity through the whole signal chain starting from the source side and moving forward to the receiver end. - Page 52 Step 5. Check the signal at the Local Monitor Output Check if there’s an outgoing signal on the LOCAL MONITOR OUTPUT connector of the transmitter. The input signal is always routed to the output connector. If there is a signal on the LOCAL MONITOR OUTPUT connector, then the problem is not EDID related.
