Operating the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective
Loading an EDID from a Bank
1. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the booster.
2. Set the WR (write) switch to the E position in order to allow the EDID to be written to
the booster.
3. Select the desired EDID bank, using the piano DIP switches. Refer to the chart,
below. DIP switch 4 is not used when selecting an EDID bank.
Bank DIP SW 1 DIP SW 2 DIP SW 3 DIP SW 4
1 ON OFF OFF Not used
2 OFF ON OFF
3 ON ON OFF
4 OFF OFF ON
5 ON OFF ON
6 OFF ON ON
For example, if we wanted to recall the EDID that is stored in EDID bank 4, then we
would set the DIP switches to SW1 = OFF, SW2 = OFF, SW3 = ON.
4. Press and hold the Program button on the booster. The Power LED will ash as the
EDID is recalled from the specied bank and loaded to the local input (HDMI In) on the
booster.
5. Set the WR (write) switch to the D position in order to prevent the stored EDID from
being accidentally erased or overwritten.
Recalling an EDID from a bank (to the Local EDID) can also be accomplished by
using the #edidbatolo command.
