Gefen EXT-DVI-EDIDN Datasheet

An Easier Way to Store the EDID

EXT-DVI-EDIDN

Save the EDID. Now easier to use with
external controls.

Computers can sometimes lose the EDID -- basically
the electronic identification of a display which lists its
possible resolutions and frequencies. When displays
are switched away or disconnected and then
reconnected, the EDID can be lost and the
computer can lose the ability to display the image
properly.

The DVI Detective solves this problem by
memorizing the EDID information. It does this by
being programmed in a simple process. Once the
DVI Detective has the display's EDID memorized, it
can be placed over the output of the computer's
video port, where it fools the computer into thinking
that a display is present, even when the display is
switched away to another computer.

How It Works

After a simple initial programming step involving
only the monitor and the DVI Detective, you simply
connect the video source on one side of the DVI
Detective and the extension module or switcher on
the other side.
