Introduction This section describes this user guide and the EDID 101H, including: • About this Guide • About the EDID 101H • EDID 101H Features • Application Diagram About this Guide This guide contains information about the Extron EDID 101H with instructions on how to install, configure, and operate the unit. Throughout this guide the EDID 101H is referred to as the “EDID 101” or the “device”. About the EDID 101H The Extron EDID 101H is an HDCP compliant EDID Emulator for HDMI signal sources.
HPD - Hot Plug Detect control port — Provides unique contact closure control port for remote cameras and other devices that require a periodic HPD trigger for proper operation. Automatic input cable equalization to 50 feet at 1080p60 with 8-bit color when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable — Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor signal output.
Installation and Configuration This section describes the installation, and configuration of the EDID 101H, including: • Installation Overview • Front Panel Features • Rear Panel Features and Cabling • EDID Minder • EDID 101H Configuration Installation Overview EDID A BC F 01 2 3 4 56 7 C D E 1 Figure 2.

b HDMI input – Connect an HDMI source to this female HDMI type-A connector. HDCP – When required, the HDMI input negotiates and authenticates HDCP with a source device. The authentication process is repeated when a stored EDID is changed. c HDMI output – Connect a display or other output device to this female HDMI type‑A connector. The HDMI output provides +5 VDC, (up to 250 mA with over-current protection) on pin 16.
d EDID Store LED – One bi-color LED lights green when power is connected. It flashes amber when reading and storing EDID from a connected output device, returning to green when recording is complete. e EDID Store button – One recessed push button initiates both reading and storing EDID. With both A and B DIP switches set off (down), press the store button to read the EDID of a device connected to the output. The EDID is then stored to a user slot selected by the rotary switch.
EDID Minder EDID Minder ensures that the connected source sees the EDID of a display, even if a display is not connected. Depending on the EDID mode selected, the EDID of a connected display can be stored automatically, or the user can manually select from the table of factory loaded EDID files. This EDID is stored in the EDID 101H. Automatic Mode In automatic mode (see Record EDID Automatically: on page 11), the EDID 101H automatically reads and stores EDID from the connected output.

Footnotes for the EDID table (see page 9) The following footnotes apply to the EDID table on the previous page: 1 Rate Type • PC – These EDIDs are primarily VESA standard computer rates, based on the most commonly used native resolutions. They are designed for use with computer sources. • HDTV – These EDIDs are video rates standardized by SMPTE and CEA. They are designed to be used with video and computer sources. 2 Video Format • DVI – These EDIDs are 128-byte EDID files, which specify a DVI sink.
EDID 101H Configuration The EDID 101H can be configured prior to installation. EDIDs are recorded from a display or a pre-programmed EDID is selected. TIP: If access to the EDID 101H is restricted after mounting or installation, configure the EDID 101H prior to the installation. Assign Pre-programmed EDID: Configure the DIP switches and rotary switch corresponding to the desired native rate, video format, and audio format (see EDID 101H Memory Slot Locations on page 9).
Remote Communication and Control This section describes remote operation of the EDID 101H. Topics include: • Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands • Command and Response Table for SIS Commands Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands The EDID 101H is remotely set up and controlled using Extron SIS commands issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system.
Error Responses If the device is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the device returns an error response to the host. The following error response codes can be sent: E01 – Invalid input channel number (out of range) E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid value (out of range) Using the Command and Response Table The command and response table is shown on the following pages.
