Operating the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective
Storing an EDID to a Bank
The Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective can store EDID data in 6 separate EDID
banks. Once an EDID is stored in a bank, it can be recalled for later use. Each EDID
bank can store up to 256 bytes of EDID data. In order to store an EDID to a bank, use the
#ediddstoba command. See Using the Virtual COM Port for more information on using
commands.
1. Begin by powering-on the display or other sink device containing the EDID
to be recorded.
2. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the booster.
3. Set all DIP swtiches to the OFF (up) position, as shown below.
4. Connect an HDMI cable from the sink device to the HDMI Out port on the booster.
The Power LED will glow bright green if the sink device contains a valid EDID. If the
EDID is corrupt or invalid, then the Power LED will ash bright red.
5. Use the #ediddstoba command to record the downstream EDID to the desired
bank. For example, to record the downstream EDID to bank 2, we would use the
following command syntax:
#ediddstoba 2
6. To ll the remaining 5 EDID banks with EDID data, repeat steps 4 and 5, following the
#ediddstoba command with a different bank number. If an EDID is stored in a bank
with existing EDID data, then the existing EDID data will be overwritten.

WARNING: When an EDID is stored in an EDID bank, the original
EDID data will be lost. The #saveloedid command can be used
as part of the process to save the EDID data to a le.
