CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the
signal and the same video resolution and audio settings on all electronic
equipment in the system. When there are multiple sources and displays, the
video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted to
correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio
capability.
FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVRC5002 HDMI EDID Recorder is an EDID Reader/Writer
/Re-timer that has the ability to emulate EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) information.
For use in applications where EDID issues are occurring. Features the ability
to set EDID from the main unit or from a connected computer using the included
software. Controllable via USB, the EVRC5002 stores and recalls EDID
information from either source or display and supports HDCP. The EVRC5002
saves time from troubleshooting and having to replace equipment. This EDID
management allows and encourages source and display “handshake”, a perfect
solution for compatibility issues.
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a standard data format that
contains basic information about the display and its capabilities, including
vendor information, maximum image size, color characteristics, factory pre-set
timings, frequency range limits, and character strings for the monitor name
and serial number.
The information is stored in the display and is used to communicate with the
system through a Display Data Channel (DDC). The system uses this information
for configuration purposes, so the monitor and system can work together.
