Installation
EDID Copy
Compatibility issues can occur when EDID information is not properly
communicated between the source and the display. Select models
include an EDID copy feature which stores a monitor's EDID information
in the transmitter and sends it to the source, ensuring optimal
compatibility.
The transmitter can only store EDID information copied from a single
monitor. Follow this guideline when choosing which monitor to copy EDID
information from: the lowest supported resolution of the monitor you
choose should also be supported by the other monitors you plan to use in
the installation.
For example, if you plan to use three monitors that support the
resolutions listed below, you should copy the EDID information from
monitor A because the lowest resolution it supports (1024 x 768) is also
supported by monitors B and C. (Monitor A is also a good choice because
all of its supported resolutions are also supported by monitors B and C.)
A. 1920 x 1080, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768
B. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
C. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1280 x 768, 1600 x 1200, 1152 x 768,
1024 x 768, 800 x 600
If you are not using the EDID copy feature, the transmitter will use a
default set of EDID information.
Note: VGA over Cat5 Extender Kits and Transmitter units with a -2 at the end of
their model name support the EDID copy feature. Remote units will support EDID
copy as long as they are used with a Transmitter unit that supports it.
To use the EDID copy feature, follow the instructions below:
Determine the monitor to perform the EDID copy on, choosing the
1
monitor that has the lowest common resolution among those that you
will be connecting (see example above).
2
Connect the powered-on monitor to the input port of the transmitter
unit.
