A. Then, the Transmitter start to read EDID from display and write in it while HDCP LED in
Transmitter flash around 10 sec. (This could be repeated up to twice.) HDCP LED in Transmitter will
blink at every 0.5 sec. (It means EDID emulation is done.)
3. Connect Transmitter to HDMI sources over HDMI cable again.
A. Then, HDCP LED will be turned off.
