10. Power up the transmitter and the receiver. A single power supply can provide power to both units through the remote power connection.

11. Connect the remote display to the receiver output. A local monitor display can also be connected to the transmitter output at this time.

12. Connect the DVI source to the transmitter input.

13. Check that the transmitter switches are in the positions described in steps 4-6.

14. Power on the DVI source device. The source device reads and uses the EDID information stored in the transmitter memory and boots up with that resolution.

15. Power on the remote (and local) display device(s).

NAll display devices must be capable of handling resolutions equal to or greater than that of the device used to set the EDID.
