Operating the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective
EDID Programming
Storing an EDID to a Bank
WARNING: When an EDID is stored in an EDID bank, the original EDID data will be lost. The #saveloedid command can be used as part of the process to save the EDID data to a file.
The Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective can store EDID data in 6 separate EDID banks. Once an EDID is stored in a bank, it can be recalled for later use. Each EDID bank can store up to 256 bytes of EDID data. In order to store an EDID to a bank, use the #ediddstoba command. See Using the Virtual COM Port for more information on using commands.
1.Begin by
2.Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the booster.
3.Set all DIP swtiches to the OFF (up) position, as shown below.
DIP switches in OFF position
4.Connect an HDMI cable from the sink device to the HDMI Out port on the booster. The Power LED will glow bright green if the sink device contains a valid EDID. If the EDID is corrupt or invalid, then the Power LED will flash bright red.
5.Use the #ediddstoba command to record the downstream EDID to the desired bank. For example, to record the downstream EDID to bank 2, we would use the following command syntax:
#ediddstoba 2
6.To fill the remaining 5 EDID banks with EDID data, repeat steps 4 and 5, following the
#ediddstoba command with a different bank number. If an EDID is stored in a bank with existing EDID data, then the existing EDID data will be overwritten.
