Switching Between Standard Edid Or Capturing Edid - PRG Mbox User Manual

Switching Between Standard EDID or Capturing EDID

The EDID set can be changed using the Stage Blackout and Preview Dim switches located on the front of the I/O
module. The combination of these switch settings (as either Yes or No) will determine the default EDID set - or, if a
custom EDID will be captured - when the EDID Capture switch is engaged.
To switch between the three standard EDID sets:
Step 1. Place Stage Blackout and Preview Dim switches in one of the following configurations (according to the
desired set):
Desired EDID Set
Set 1:
Set 2:
Set 3:
Step 2. Flip momentary EDID Capture switch to the right and hold in position. The indicator LED will flash rapidly for
four seconds. (During this time, the switch can be released and no capturing action will take place.)
To capture a custom EDID:
Refer to the guidelines on the previous page for more information.
Step 1. Quit Mbox Designer.
Step 2. Open Mac Displays Preference window (Figure 3-2).
Step 3. Connect monitor to preview output of the other output section (not being programmed).
Step 4. Remove all DVI or VGA connectors from output section you wish to program.
Step 5. At output section being programmed, reconnect only the device from which you want to capture EDID data.
Step 6. Set both Blackout and Preview Dim switches to their "Yes" position:
Desired EDID Set
Capture from DVI/VGA
Step 7. Flip momentary EDID Capture switch to the right and hold in position. The indicator LED will flash rapidly for
four seconds. (During this time, the switch can be released and no capturing action will take place.)
