602T, 602R - Using the Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI System 5
4 Using the Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI
System
This section describes how to:
• Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section
4.1)
• Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Section
4.2)
• Avoid pitfalls when using the 602T and 602R (see Section
4.3)
4.1 Capturing the EDID
The 602T and 602R are connected via two channels that transmit R, G, B and
clock signals. The EDID of the display device is captured onto the transmitter for
the computer to read.
The factory default EDID is set to UXGA (1600x1200) at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
If your display has this resolution, you do not need to capture the EDID.
You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 602T so that when the
computer connects to the 602T, it reads the virtual EDID information and identify
the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the connected
display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be connected and
disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If you decide to use a different
display, then you need to set the EDID again.
To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:
1. Connect the power to the display.
2. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 602T, and connect
the adapter to the mains electricity.
3. Push the EDID button (illustrated in Figure 2
), using a small screwdriver.
The EDID LED flashes twice and turns off.
4. Connect the 602T unit directly to the display device (while it is powered
ON).
