Operating the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective

EDID Programming

Before using the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective, the unit must be programmed with an EDID. Once programmed, the EDID data will be read by the source, providing all the necessary details of the type of signal that the display (or other sink device) can process.

There are two ways in which to program the booster: 1) The EDID data can come from an external source, such as a display or A/V receiver. 2) The booster can be programmed using any of the 6 Default EDID profiles .

Programming an External EDID

1.Begin by powering-on the display or other sink device containing the EDID to be recorded.

2.Connect an HDMI cable from the sink device to the HDMI Out port on the booster.

3.Set all DIP switches to the OFF (up) position, as shown below.
