bgarrett Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hello, I have two Dell Vostro display computers with Nvidia 310 graphics card that are hooked up to an Extron's fiber optic extender. It is DVI to fiber. The signal runs into a two Sanyo XP 200L projectors 100' away to edge blend. The issue I am having is that when I have the display computers on the projectors don't see Watchout until I go online. The projectors countdown like they don't have a signal. I use to see the Watchout start up window with the ip address. Once I go online the system seems to run smooth. I have the Watchout display in the start up menu to go right into WO once the computer is up and running. So I took the signal out of the display computers and right into a dvi monitor and it started up with the WO start up window with the ip address, but when I hook it back up to the DVI to fiber I don't get a signal till I go online. Any suggestions? Thanks. Brent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yes, to me it is. Straight, short DVI cable to monitor = EDID info to graphic card works 100' fiber to Display over fiber = EDID seems not to work I'll suggest a separate EDID Manager, like TMB's DVI Parrot, per output. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgarrett Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks Jonas. I wonder if the EDID information got reset on the fiber extenders, because it use to work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted September 27, 2014 Moderator Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 EDID distortion from extender solutions is quite commonplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgarrett Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I did reset the EDID information on the Extron DVI 104 and that took care of the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 It usually does... Good that it works now. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
