Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI Detective. Your complete satisfaction is
very important to us. Gefen’s line of KVM (Keyboard Video & Mouse), DVI, ADC, USB,
switches, extenders, converters and hubs is designed to make computer use more
comfortable, more productive and less expensive. KVM switches allow access to mul-
tiple computers from a single keyboard, while the extenders give the user control over
a computer up to 330 feet away from the work area. Gefen products offer solutions for
noise, space and security concerns, data center control, information distribution, confer-
ence room presentation, and school and corporate training environments.
Our Commitment
Gefen will always offer the finest quality product at the best possible price. Included in
that price is a lifetime of free support from a team of outstanding engineers.
Introduction
The DVI Detective reads and remembers the EDID of your display. The DVI Detective
allows you to use Gefen’s DVI Switchers orADC Switchers without having to be se-
lected to the computer that is booting up. It also allows you to use Gefen's DVI/HDMI
extenders without the need for the DDC CAT5 when your source is non HDCP.
How it Works
Connect your DVI or ADC monitor to the DVI Detective and then power the DVI Detec-
tive. The DVI Detective then reads the EDID of your display, and once the LED stops
blinking the DVI Detective has remembered the EDID of your display.
You can now connect your DVI Detective to your computer with a short DVI cable, and
then connect it to your DVI or ADC Switcher or ADC Switcher or DVI or ADC extender.
