5 Acquiring the EDID

This is usually done only once, when the machine is being set up in an installation. Once acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.

Initially, the VM-22Hoperates with the factory default EDID. This lets you connect the power before connecting one of the acceptors or sources.

You can acquire the EDID from:

∙One output (the relevant output illuminates)

∙The default EDID (both output LEDs blink)

∙Two connected outputs, the auto-mix mode (both output LEDs illuminate)

The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs. For example, if several displays with different resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included in the EDID.

When pressing the EDID SETUP button briefly, the OUT LEDs indicate which type of EDID was last acquired. If the:

∙OUT 1 LED illuminates, the OUT 1 EDID is stored in the non-volatile memory

∙OUT 2 LED illuminates, the OUT 2 EDID is stored in the non-volatile memory

∙OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs blink, the Default EDID is stored in the non-volatile memory

∙OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs illuminate, the Auto-Mix EDID is stored in the non- volatile memory

To acquire the EDID, do the following:

1.Connect the power.

2.Connect the output or outputs from which you want to acquire the EDID.
