EDID
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital display to describe its
capabilities to a video source (e.g. graphics card or set-top box). In a nutshell, the display provides its EDID
info to the source to send the proper signal format, this is essential for a proper handshake to occur.
The EVEXKVM1 is equipped with EDID management, however there is no need to adjust any dip switches or
dials, the unit automatically reads the EDID from the display and saves it internally. This feature was created
for the installer in mind, for a plug and play installation!
KVM PASS-THROUGH
The KVM extension system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from
the display location using USB 2.0 ports. There are two important things to note when setting up the KVM
system:
1. The USB port on the Transmitting unit (TX) is a USB type B port, use the included USB type A to type B
cable to connect the extender unit to the USB port of the source.
2. The (4) USB 2.0 ports on the Receiving unit (RX) can be connected to any USB 2.0 capable device, such as
keyboards or mice to control the source. A wireless keyboard/mouse system can be used here, as long as the
system is capable of USB 2.0, and is within the normal wireless operation of the third party wireless product.
