Trasmit EDID Continuously
The Gefen DVI Detective (EXT-DVI-EDID) is a unique and useful little device that
reads and stores a computer's digital video information (EDID) in order to simplify
the installation process for users who are extending a digital projector or plasma
display away from the computer.
Once installed and connected, the Gefen DVI Detective (EXT-DVI-EDID) continually
transmits the EDID to the computer, essentially "tricking" the computer into thinking
that the video is present, even when it is not connected. The user can then disconnect
the display, place it in a remote location and reconnect it, without rebooting the
operating system. The entire installation process benefits from the Gefen DVI Detective
(EXT-DVI-EDID), which utilizes a much smaller cable that requires fewer connections;
it makes life easier for those extending digital displays or projectors. An inconspicuous
device that weighs less than one pound. Gefen DVI Detective (EXT-DVI-EDID) can connect
to and ADC or DVI port with the use of an adapter. It works with all digital displays
(DVI) as well as Apple's line of flat panel displays (ADC).
What is EDID?
EDID - Extended Display Identification Data is a VESA standard data format that
contains basic information about a monitor 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.
How it Works
Connect the source on one side of the DVI Detective and the extension module
or switcher on the other side.
