DVI 104 Tx/Rx, cont’d
Setup and Operation
When using the DVI 104 Tx/Rx for the first time or if the display device is changed, it is essential to set up the EDID Minder.
The setup process places EDID information on a EEPROM chip in the transmitter, which allows the video source to boot up correctly. This process is described below in steps
1.Ensure that the source, the display, the transmitter, and the receiver are all powered off and that the fiber optic cables are unplugged from the transmitter and the receiver.
2.Apply power to the transmitter by inserting the cable from the external power supply into the input jack. The LEDs should illuminate a solid blue.
3.Press and release the EDID Minder programming button by gently inserting a pointed device, such as a paper clip, into the recess on the side of the transmitter. The blue LED should blink twice and turn off, although power is still connected. The transmitter is ready to capture EDID information from the display device.
4.Power on the display device.
5.Connect the transmitter directly to the DVI input of the display device. The blue LEDs on the transmitter blink rapidly for a few seconds to indicate that it is reading and storing EDID information from the display device.
When the information has been captured and stored, the blue LEDs stop blinking. They may light a solid blue or they may turn off, depending on the display device.
NThe transmitter must remain connected to both the display device and the power supply for the entire time that the EDID capture is taking place
6.Once the capture and storage are complete and the blue LEDs are no longer blinking, disconnect the transmitter from both the power and the display device.
NOnce the transmitter has captured the EDID information from the display device, the information is stored on
an EEPROM chip in the transmitter. Therefore, this calibration needs to be performed only once, as long as the display device is not changed.
If the display device is changed, repeat steps
