Operating the Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 

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 flash bright red.

5.  Use the 

bank.  For example, to record the downstream EDID to bank 2, we would use the 

following command syntax: 

 

#ediddstoba 2 

6.  To fill the remaining 5 EDID banks with EDID data, repeat steps 4 and 5, following the 

 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 

 command can be used 

as part of the process to save the EDID data to a file.
