Gefen DVI Detective Plus (EXT-DVI-EDIDP)

EDID stands for Extended Display Identification Data. It is the standard table of characteristics of a display that is used by the source to optimize its output resolution, timing, and other operating parameters. When a display is switched off, de-selected by a matrix/switcher, or disconnected and then reconnected, the EDID can be lost. If this occurs, the video source device may lose its ability to output the correct image instantly.

The Gefen DVI Detective Plus addresses this issue by recording the EDID from a display and making it available to a source at all times, as if the display is still connected. The EXT-DVI-EDIDP also passes through the communications between an HDCP-enabled source and display as necessary. The DVI EDID Detective Plus has been designed for quick and easy programming and installation with 1 local and 5 pre-programmed EDID profiles that can be used in the event that a suitable EDID cannot be recorded.

The DVI Detective Plus provides all the functionality of the DVI Detective N and adds HDCP pass through and the ability to use one of (5) pre-programmed EDID profiles. For (6) pre-programmed + (6) user-programmed EDID Banks, see the HDMI Detective Plus (DVI with passive adapter).


EXT-DVI-EDIDP Highlights

  • Gefen EXT-DVI-EDIDP - DIP Switch EDID Programming

    Simple Set-Up & Flexible EDID Operation

    After a simple initial programming step involving only the monitor and the DVI Detective, you simply connect the video source on one side of the DVI Detective and the extension module or switcher on the other side. If a suitable EDID cannot be recorded, there are (5) pre-programmed EDID profiles with convenient standard HDTV resolutions and multi-channel audio settings.

    After initial setup, no power or buttons are required for operation of the DVI Detective Plus.

    Ensure Perfect Match Between Source & Display

    The Gefen DVI Detective Plus memorizes the EDID profile of the connected source and the display. This Virtual EDID ensures perfect video resolution and frequency timing. Activating the write-protection switch on the outside of the unit will lock the settings from to prefent any accidental over-ride.
