EM-EDID-HD15(-P)
Pass-Through VGA EDID Emulator
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hall Research
EM-EDID-HD15. This device is used to
emulate a high resolution LCD when plugged
into the PC. The video signal passes through
the unit; however, the EDID (plug-n-play
information) is emulated and not passed
through the device.
2.0 Features
Perfect for use with splitters,
switches and extenders.
Allows PC to 'see' an LCD in
absence of DDC channel
(common problem with
extenders)
Can be powered from VGA input
(if source is VESA compliant)
Power indicator LED lets user
know if external power supply is
needed
Small size
If source does not have power
output, external power supply
may be connected
Can be used alone or as pass-
through
Passes RGB and Sync signals
with no loss
Ships with default EDID that has
most common resolutions
Can be programmed with other
resolutions (separate
programmer needed)
3.0 Installation
The EDID emulator connects between the video source (the device that
needs to read the EDID) and an optional display device. There is a green LED
on the EDID emulator that indicates the unit has 5 vDC applied. If the green
LED does not illuminate, then either a different cable (one that has Pin 9) or
a power supply will be required.

• Other resolutions can be programmed by Hall Research upon
customer request for a nominal fee
• Hall Research also offers stand-alone programmers (USB-EDID and
USB-EDID-PRO). They can be used to read the EDID from any LCD or
edit custom EDID using PC software.
5.0 Power Requirements
This device requires that the VGA source supply 5 Volts DC on its PIN #9. This is a
standard for VGA connectors. However, some older PC’s and external accessory
VGA devices (such as VGA switches, splitters, etc) do not have power on Pin #9.
There is a green LED on the EDID emulator that indicates the unit has 5 vDC applied.
If the green LED does not illuminate, then either a different cable (one that has Pin 9)
or a power supply will be required.
For devices that do not have 5 vDC on pin #9, HRT offers a EDID kit with a power
supply (-P option). Note: Only connect regulated 5 vDC to the unit.
The power supply is also available individually for those who have bought one without
a power supply and found out later they need it.
