Reading and Saving EDID Data from a Destination Device
Tip: In the EDID Programmer view, the Save to File option under the File menu can be used to save the EDID
information as an .edid file. The saved file can be opened as a text file (from the File menu, select Open File)
and edited or opened and written to an input (click the Write button).
The instructions that follow tell how to use the EDID Programmer view to read and save the EDID information
from an output, which is receiving the EDID information from a destination device.
Note: The availability of the Read and Write buttons depends on whether an input or output is selected in the
device tree on the left. (Read from an output and write to an input.)
To read and save EDID data:
1. On the PC, open the DGX Configuration Software and select the EDID Programmer tab.

2. From the Inputs/Outputs device tree on the left, select an output from which to read the EDID information
that it receives from the destination device.
3. Click Read to read the EDID information. The results display in the large read-only area.
4. From the File menu, select Save to File (select location, enter file name, and click Save).
Leave the EDID Programmer view open for using the instructions on writing the EDID to a DGX Digital
Media Switcher input connector on the next page.
Troubleshooting Tip: If the program cannot read and write the EDID information, the system may not
support all of the DGX Configuration Software functionality. From the Utilities menu, select Launch EDID
Programmer Classic to open a program that will work with the system; follow the directions in its Help file.
