LOCAL AND VIRTUAL DDC MODES EDID MODES Display information, or EDID, is needed by most sources to determine the capabilities of an attached display. This is provided by the EDID of an attached display. The DVI 3500HD uses one of two methods to read and transmit an EDID to the DVI source device.
SWITCHING ACTIVE USB CONTROL CONTROL SWITCH The front panel of the DVI 3500HD sender unit has a control switch that will determine the location of the active USB ports. This switch will allow the user to activate the USB ports on either the sender (local) unit or receiver (remote) unit. This does not affect the DVI outputs which are permanently active on both units.
