Hall Research EM-EDID-HD15 VGA EDID Emulator

Most PC's and Notebook require a special handshake from the LCD or display device before they output video. This handshake involves reading the EDID table from the monitor. EDID contains information such as Supported Resolutions, Native Resolution, and Video Formats. Most older cables and most video switches, splitters, or extenders do not support EDID, result is that you often can't get video from your notebook PC to external display. To easily fix this, Hall Research has designed the EDID Emulator. It is a tiny device that plugs to the VGA port of your PC and you simply plug the cable to the monitor to this unit. The EM-EDID-HD15 is powered from the PC itself, so in 99.9% of cases you don't need an external power supply.

Features:

• perfect for use with video splitters, switches and extenders.
• Allows PC to 'see' an LCD in absence of DDC channel (common problem with extenders)
• Can be powered from VGA input (if source is VESA compliant)
• Power indicator LED lets user know if external power supply is needed
• Small size
• If source does not have power output, external power supply may be connected
• Can be used alone or as a pass-through
• Passes RGB and Sync signals with no loss
• Ships with default EDID that has most common resolutions
• Can be programmed with other resolutions (separate programmer needed)
