Quick Start Guide
EDID Manager V4
Typical Application
EDID Management
A common EDID can be selected by the EDID Manager v4 in order to provide compatibility with various end-points (e.g. monitors and projectors) in an A/V system.
EDID is xed
Up to 60m DVIGear SHR™ cable
EDID
on the input
PC or Mac
HDCP Management
HDCP compatible and non-capable display devices in the same system can lead to setup problems as some monitors or projectors will not display the signal from the source. In some applications, the EDID Manager v4 can solve these problems by disabling the unit’s HDCP pass-through function. If the source content is not HDCP protected, this will force the signal source to output non-HDCP encrypted signal.
