Reading and Saving EDID Data from a DXLink Fiber Transmitter’s Input Connector
When DGX Configuration Software discovers and displays “Inputs” for an DXLink Fiber Transmitter, the input is
numbered twice to allow for reading from either a VGA (HD-15) or an HDMI source device.
The DGX Configuration Software reads the EDID data from the USER EDID 1 EEPROM location, regardless of the
VIDIN_EDID setting.
Important: Unless a custom EDID has been previously written to the input, attempting to read the EDID will
result in a Read Error message.
The EDID data can be read to confirm the correct EDID has been programmed.
To read and save EDID data from a DXLink Fiber Transmitter input:
1.
On the PC, open the DGX Configuration Software and select the EDID Programmer tab.
2. Under Inputs/Outputs on the left, expand the device tree, and select either the HD-15 or HDMI Input.
3. Click Read to read the EDID information currently on the selected Input (HD-15 or HDMI).
The EDID data appears in the EDID read-only field on the right.
Tip: In the EDID Programmer view, the Save to File option under the File menu can be used to save the EDID
information as an .edid file. The saved file can be opened as a text file (from the File menu, select Open File)
and edited or opened and written to an input (click the Write button).
