Lindy DVI EDID Emulator

An EDID emulator avoids compatibility issues between a source and display by providing 'fake' or 'ghost' EDID information. EDID is a data format that contains information regarding display characteristics, including screen size, resolution capabilities, frequency limits and more. Without this information a source signal cannot be displayed correctly.

The Lindy DVI EDID Emulator is designed for systems that require EDID signals to be continuously provided without interruption and helps overcome EDID related problems which can occur when using AV/KVM extenders, switches and splitters. It can also be used in place of a monitor to keep the graphics card of a PC or server awake for remote access via IP. With support for resolutions up to 2560x1600@60Hz, the emulator is suitable for use with legacy PCs and displays. When used with the Lindy EDID recorder (32120) this device can provide cloned EDID information to the graphics card.

It is also possible to use the Emulator without cloning a display as it comes complete with pre-set EDID data for the most commonly used resolution/timing combinations, please see the Technical Information section for a full breakdown.
