PROGRAMMING THE DVI DETECTIVE
How to Program the DVI Detective
1- Power on your display, and connect your display to the DVI Out on the DVI Detective.
2- Plug the 5V power supply into the DVI Detective, once the LED stops blinking the
DVI Detective has finished reading the EDID of the display*. After programming you will
not need to use the power supply again (If your source does not output enough power
to drive the DVI FM Sender, powering the DVI Detective will fix the issue).
3- You can now connect the DVI IN on the DVI Detective into your computer with sup-
plied DVI cable, and plug the DVI FM Sender directly into the DVI Detective's DVI Out.
* If the LED does not stop blinking after 8 seconds of having the power supply
connected, try recording with the monitor on with a picture.
