Introduction
When a video source is connected to a display, EDID information is shared between
devices to ensure video and audio performance is aligned.
However, if you are using a third party device, such as a video extender, between your
source and display, the EDID information may not pass through correctly.
This EDID Emulator and Copier lets you clone or emulate the EDID settings from your
display and deliver it to your video source to ensure proper signaling between your
devices.
Package contents
• 1 x EDID emulator
• 1 x USB power cable
• 1 x screwdriver
• 4 x foot pads
• 1 x quick-start guide
Requirements
• An HDMI display device.
• An HDMI video source device.
• A USB port (power).
• Two HDMI cables (for the display device and video source device).

electronics devices (such Blu-ray™ or DVD players) and/or emulate EDID settings
that are commonly supported by most consumer electronics devices, and in the
performance range of your display.
Memory mode lets you copy and store up to 15 EDID settings from dierent displays

AV mode enables the EDID Emulator and Copier to work with consumer electronics
equipment. Even if your equipment doesn’t support the exact resolution that’s
specied by the rotary dial, each setting supports a range of resolutions and refresh
rates. The table below lists resolutions and refresh rates that are still supported by
each setting.
