Product Information

Full details

The Lindy HDMI / VGA / DVI EDID Recorder is designed for professionals and first-time users facing EDID compatibility issues with mixed displays, splitters, extenders, or switches. Its key benefit is intelligently copying and storing EDID data from HDMI, VGA, or DVI displays to ensure seamless communication. A potential caveat is that it requires compatible Lindy EDID emulators to fully utilize the stored EDID data. This device allows you to overwrite the pre-set EDID of emulators, saving time and ensuring consistent performance in complex AV installations. It supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 and features a robust metal housing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is EDID and why is it important?

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure used to communicate information about a display's capabilities (like resolution, refresh rate, and color depth) to a source device (like a computer or media player). Correct EDID ensures the source sends a compatible signal, preventing display issues.

Do I need other Lindy devices to use this recorder?

Yes, the EDID Recorder is designed to capture EDID data. To utilize this data to solve compatibility issues, you typically need to transfer it to a compatible Lindy EDID Emulator (models 32104, 32121, 32122, or older 32101, 32102).

Can I use this recorder with non-Lindy emulators?

While the recorder captures standard EDID data, its seamless integration and intended use are with Lindy's range of EDID emulators for overwriting pre-set EDID information. Compatibility with third-party emulators may vary and is not guaranteed.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The Lindy EDID Recorder supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K).

How do I reset the stored EDID data?

The device does not have a specific reset function for stored EDID data. To change the stored EDID, you would re-copy the EDID from a different display.

What types of video inputs does it support for EDID copying?

It supports EDID copying from HDMI, VGA, and DVI displays.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This product comes with a 2-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Verify that the DC power adapter is securely connected to the recorder and plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is illuminated.

EDID data is not being copied.

Ensure the source display is powered on and outputting a valid signal before initiating the copy process. Check that the display is compatible with the input port being used.

Connected display is not showing the correct resolution after using the emulator.

Confirm that the correct EDID was copied from the target display. Ensure the EDID emulator is properly connected to the recorder and the output is connected to the display. Test with a different source display's EDID if possible.

No signal output after setup.

Double-check all cable connections between the source, EDID recorder, emulator, and display. Ensure the correct input and output ports are used on all devices. Verify the source device is sending a signal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively resolves EDID compatibility issues between sources and displays.
  • Supports multiple video input types (HDMI, VGA, DVI) for broad application.
  • Allows customization of EDID data when used with compatible Lindy emulators.
  • Supports high resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160).
  • Simple, user-friendly operation with a single switch.

  • May require technical understanding for optimal configuration in complex setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the display you want to copy EDID from to the EDID Recorder's input port (HDMI, VGA, or DVI).
  2. Ensure the EDID Recorder is powered via its DC-in jack.
  3. Use the simple switch on the device to initiate the EDID copy process. The recorder will automatically store the EDID data from the connected display.
  4. Disconnect the source display.
  5. Connect the EDID Recorder to a compatible Lindy EDID Emulator (models 32104, 32121, 32122, or older 32101, 32102) to transfer the stored EDID data. Follow the emulator's specific instructions for loading the EDID.
