Overview The high quality VM-400HDCP accepts an HDMI signal and distributes the selected signal to up to four outputs over DVI connectors. The VM-400HDCP features: • Support for up to 1.65Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel • I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling &...
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the VM-400HDCP to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

2. Connect the DVI outputs and loop monitor to up to four DVI acceptors (for example, an LCD TV and a plasma display). 3. Connect the power adapter to the VM-400HDCP and to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure...
Section 8 ). This lets you connect the power before having to connect one of the acceptors. The factory-default is the EDID which is programmed into the VM-400HDCP before being shipped. The EDID can be acquired from: This is usually done only once when the machine is being set up in an installation. Once acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.

The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs. For example, if several displays with different resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included in the EDID. VM-400HDCP - Acquiring the EDID...
