Moderator jfk Posted March 8, 2017 Moderator Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 You accurately describe the Extron DVI extender is flawed. Possibly adding an EDID manager before the Extron extender would overcome the Extron issue. Or does the Extron extender include EDID management? If so, EDID is impropelry set and that is the place where you would correct this. Have you contacted Extron? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 According to the manuals from Extron, it should be transparent re:EDID info. I interpret this as it should pass the EDID info from the projector through, as a cable would, ideally. Supports EDID and HDCP transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing continuous communication between source and display. The transmitter have a setting for the DDC channel routing, though. How that switch is set will probably affect the result... 3) DDC Route switch — This rear panel switch selects either the remote or local DVI display as the display data channel (DDC) reference for EDID and HDCP communication. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisejs Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Or you can go to advanced menu of the Ati settings (section EDID emulation) and set the edid emulation while connected directly with DP cable. Yo can either set it directly or save the edid data. But dont use the Force edid emulation option - its kind of blackbox. Rather set the edit settings to each otput. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackboyd Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've used the extron extenders many times, and they do indeed pass EDID without flaws right out of the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
