3. Technologies 3.1. Understanding EDID 3.1.1. Basics EDID stands for Extended Display Identification Data. Simply put, EDID is the passport of display devices (monitors, TV sets, projectors). It contains information about the display’s capabilities, such as supported resolutions, refresh rates (these are called Detailed Timings), the type and manufacturer of the display device, etc. After connecting a DVI source to a DVI display, the source reads out the EDID to determine the resolution and refresh rate of the image to be transmitted.
Figure 3-1. EDID communication Most DVI computer displays have 128-byte long EDID structure. However, Digital Televisions and HDMI capable displays may have another 128 bytes, which is called EEDID and defined by CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). This extension contains information about additional Detailed Timings, audio capabilities, speaker allocation and HDMI capabilities. It is important to know, that all HDMI capable devices must have CEA extension, but not all devices are HDMI capable which have the extension.
3.1.2. Common problems related to EDID Problem: „My system consists of the following: a computer, a Lightware DVIDL-OPT-TX200, a WUXGA (1600x1200) LCD as local monitor, then a DVIDL-OPT-RX100 connected to an HD (1920x1080) projector. I would like to see the same image on the monitor and the projector. What EDID should I chose on the transmitter?” Solution:
Page 16 / 55
If you want to see the image on both displays, you need to select the resolution of the smallest display (in this case WUXGA), otherwise the smaller display may not show the higher resolution image.
Section 3. Technologies
DVIDL-OPT-TX200, DVIDL-OPT-RX100 User’s Manual Problem: „I have changed to a different EDID on the DVIDL-OPT-TX200 to have a different resolution but nothing happens.” Solution:
Some graphics cards and video sources read out the EDID only after power-up and later they don’t sense that EDID has been changed. You need to restart your source to make it read out the EDID again.
Problem: „I have a DVIDL-OPT-TX200 and I’m using a Lightware factory preset EDID. I would like to be able to choose from different resolutions, but my source allows only one resolution.” Solution:
Most Lightware factory preset EDIDs allow only one resolution, forcing the sources to output only that particular signal. You need to select the Universal DVI EDID (address F29). It supports all common VESA resolutions.
3.2. Advanced EDID management Each DVI sink (e.g. monitors, projectors, plasma displays, and switcher inputs) must support the EDID data structure. Source BIOS and operating systems are likely to query the sink using DDC2B protocol to determine what pixel formats and interface are supported. DVI standard makes use of EDID data structure for the identification of the monitor type and capabilities. Most DVI sources (VGA cards, set top boxes, etc.) will output DVI signal after accepting the connected sink’s EDID information. In case of EDID readout failure or missing EDID the source will not output DVI video signal. DVIDL-OPT-TX200 provides Lightware’s Advanced EDID Management function that helps system integration. The built in EDID transmitter’s memory stores and emulates 99 EDID data plus the monitor's EDID that is connected to the local DVI output connector. First 60 EDID are factory presets, while memories from 61 to 99 are user programmable. The router stores the EDID of the attached monitor or projector for the local output in a non-volatile memory. This way the EDID from a monitor is available when the monitor is unplugged, or switched off. The EDID emulated on the DVI input can be copied from the transmitter's memory (static EDID emulation), or from the last attached monitors memory (dynamic EDID emulation). For example, the transmitter can be set up to emulate a device, which is connected to the local monitor output. In this case the EDID automatically changes, if the monitor is replaced with another display device (as long as it has a valid EDID). Advanced EDID management can be controlled by the front panel’s control buttons and via USB port. Info: The user is not required to disconnect the DVI cable to change an EDID as opposed to other manufacturer’s products. EDID can be changed even if source is connected to the input and powered ON. Info: When EDID has been changed, the transmitter toggles the HOTPLUG signal for 2 seconds. Some sources do not observe this signal, so in this case the change is not recognized by the source. In such cases the source device must be restarted or powered OFF and ON again.
3.3. TMDS Reclocking (DVIDL-OPT-TX200) DVIDL-OPT-RX100 reclocks the signal on its output using Lightware’s sophisticated TMDS reclocking technology. Signal reclocking is an essential important procedure in digital signal transmission. After passing the reclocking circuit, the signal becomes stable and jitter-free, and can be transmitted over more equipment like processors, or event controllers. Without reclocking, sparkles, noise and jaggies can be seen on the image. Info: TMDS stands for Transition Minimized Differential Signaling. It is the electrical and encoding specification used by the DVI standard to transmit the video signal.
Section 3. Technologies
Page 17 / 55
The TMDS Reclocking circuit eliminates the following errors: Intra-pair skew: skew between the + and - wires within a differential wire pair (e.g. Data2and Data2+). It’s caused by different wire lengths or slightly different wire construction (impedance mismatch) in DVI cable. It results in jitter. + Intra-pair skew
Jitter:
signal instability in the time domain. The time difference between two signal transitions should be a fix value, but noise and other effects cause variations. + Jitter
Noise:
electromagnetic interference between other electronic devices such as mobile phones, motors, etc. and the DVI cable are coupled onto the signal. Too much noise results in increased jitter. + Noise
Info: TMDS Reclocking technology does not eliminate Inter-pair skew.
3.4. Dual link DVI signal The dual link DVI interface can operate in either single link or dual link mode. The chosen mode depends on the pixel clock frequency of the signal and it is selected by the hardware automatically. For pixel clock frequencies lower than 165 MHz, single link mode is selected. For higher pixel clock frequencies (up to 330 MHz), dual link mode is selected. It is important to know that pixel clock frequency is not the same as TMDS clock frequency when it comes to dual link DVI. The pixel clock frequency in single link transmission is a 10th part of the data rate. The maximum data rate of single link transmission is 1.65 Gbps per TMDS channel and the maximum pixel clock frequency is 165 MHz. In this case the pixel clock frequency equals the TMDS clock frequency. The pixel clock frequency in dual link transmission (when in dual link mode) is a 5th part of the data rate. The maximum data rate of dual link transmission is still 1.65 Gbps per TMDS channel but the maximum pixel clock frequency is 330 MHz. In this case the pixel clock frequency is two times the TMDS clock frequency.

Section 3. Technologies
DVIDL-OPT-TX200, DVIDL-OPT-RX100 User’s Manual The DVI standard maximizes the data rate of the TMDS channels in 1.65 Gbps. Dual link DVI interface enables a higher resolution compared to single link transmission by doubling the number of wire pairs to transmit the video signal. In single link cables 3 wire pairs carry the color information (red, green and blue) and one wire pair carries the clock signal (TMDS clock). In dual link cables, 6 wire pairs carry the color information next to the TMDS clock signal. One color component is carried by two wire pairs, where one wire pair carries the odd pixels and the other wire pair carries the even pixels. TMDS clock Red Green PC or Mac

3.5. DVI Cable powering As a special feature, DVIDL-OPT-TX200 (DVI OUTPUT) and DVIDL-OPT-RX100 (DVI OUTPUT) are able to supply 500 mA current to power fiber optical transmitters like Lightware DVI-OPT-TX100 (Pin 14 on DVI OUT connector). Standard DVI outputs or VGA cards supply only 55 mA current on +5V output, thus unable to directly power a fiber optical transmitter. Info: DVIDL-OPT-TX200 and DVIDL-OPT-RX100 do not check if the connected sink (monitor, projector or other equipment) supports Hotplug or EDID signals but output the input signal immediately after it has been applied to the input.

4.3. 3D applications 3D quick setup The extenders are adapted to transmit stereoscopic 120 Hz 3D video signal up to 1920x1200 resolution. At first verify that the source- and the display devices are 3D– capable. When the devices are ready to use, the following EDID setup is recommended: Step 1. Connect the display device to the local DVI OUTPUT connector on the transmitter. Step 2. Save the EDID of the display device to a desired user memory location (follow the steps in section 5.3.2 on page 24). Step 3. Select the user memory location, where the EDID is saved, to emulate on the input of the transmitter (follow the steps in section 5.3.1 on page 23). Step 4. Unplug the display device from the transmitter and connect it to the DVI OUTPUT connector of the receiver. Info
Please note that the extenders are not HDCP compliant. If the 3D video signal needs HDCP, the display device will not show the image.
Info
Make sure that the optical cables are connected to the appropriate channels on the fiber connectors, especially if the resolution and the refresh rate require dual link signal transmitting.

5.2. About EDID memory (transmitter) The EDID memory is non-volatile and can store 99 EDIDs. The memory structure is as follows: 01..60 .................................................................................... Factory Preset EDID list 61..99 ......................................................................... User programmable memories 00 ........................................................ Last attached monitor’s EDID (Local Monitor) Info: DVIDL-OPT-TX200 can handle both 128 Byte EDID and 256 Byte extended EDID structures. Info: The attached monitor’s EDID is stored automatically, until a new monitor is attached to the local monitor output. In case of powering the unit off, the last attached monitor’s EDID remains in non-volatile memory. Factory preset EDIDs The factory EDIDs (01-60) are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These are the most common resolutions. They are specially provided to force graphic cards to output only the exact pixel resolution and refresh rate. Universal DVI (29) allows multiple resolutions including all common VESA defined resolutions. The use of universal EDID is recommended for fast and easy system setup. Info: Factory EDIDs do not include HDMI support. If you need audio, you can create an EDID with HDMI support with the Easy EDID Creator and upload it to user EDID memory. See section 6.6.9 on page 34 for more information.

Table 5-1. Factory preset EDID list
5.3. Front panel (transmitter) 5.3.1. Switching EDID The user can select an EDID to emulate on the input, this is called EDID routing. There are two types of the emulation: static and dynamic.
Static EDID emulation happens, when an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is routed to an input.
Dynamic EDID emulation occurs, when an attached monitor’s EDID is routed to an input. In this case the emulated EDID changes automatically, if a new monitor is attached to the output, by simply copying the data from the monitor.
Step 1. Use a screwdriver to change the memory address on the rotary switches on the front side of the DVIDL–OPT–TX200. The left switch sets the tens value, the right switch gives the ones value of the EDID.
Figure 5-1. Location #17 is selected by the rotary switches
Section 5. Operation
Page 23 / 55
Step 2. After either one of the rotary switches has been rotated the unit waits approximately two seconds before the selected EDID becomes active. Step 3. Check the status of the device: EDID status LED
Legend:
Description
(green)
The selected EDID memory is valid
(red)
The selected EDID memory is invalid (wrong address / empty user memory)
LED is lit
Address #00 has a special function. If a monitor is connected to the OUTPUT, then its EDID is copied to the INPUT connector. If no monitor is connected to the OUTPUT then the EDID copied to the INPUT connector is the EDID of the last connected monitor. Info
If an invalid EDID is selected, DVIDL-OPT-TX200 does NOT change the emulated EDID on the input. Last valid EDID is kept until another valid EDID is selected to emulate on the input.
Info
After every EDID change, DVIDL–OPT–TX200 toggles the HOT PLUG signal for approximately 2 seconds. Some graphics cards or DVD players do not sense the HOT PLUG signal, and even if EDID has been changed, the set resolution is not affected. In this case the source device must be restarted, or powered OFF and ON again.
5.3.2. Learning EDID The factory preset EDIDs cannot be changed by the user. Only addresses from #61 to #99 are user programmable. Step 1. After connecting the sink device to OUTPUT, use a screwdriver to select a user programmable memory address on the rotary switches. If the Status LED is illuminated red, then the memory slot is empty and ready to be programmed. If it is green, the memory was already used before, but still available for reprogramming. Step 2. Push the LEARN button on the front side of DVIDL-OPT-TX200 and hold it down for approximately two seconds. If the teaching is successful, the Status LED blinks four times green, if the teaching is unsuccessful, the Status LED blinks four times red. Step 3. The normal function of the LED is in effect. Info: If DVIDL-OPT-TX200 is unable to read the monitor’s EDID or there is no currently attached monitor, the last attached monitor’s valid EDID will be stored in the user memory. Info: If the selected user memory is not empty, the new EDID will overwrite the previously stored EDID.
5.3.3. Deleting EDID EDID cannot be deleted by the controls on the front panel, only by Lightware Device Control software. See more information in section 6.6.6 on page 32.

7.3. Extender initiated commands 7.3.1. EDID Status Changed (transmitter) Description: This is sent after any command which changed the EDID table (EDID copy, EDID switch, etc…), or after a new EDID source e.g. a new display device is connected to the extender. Format Command various Response (E_S_C) CrLf
Example a new monitor is connected to an output ← (E_S_C) CrLf
Explanation: When a new monitor is connected to an output port, its EDID is read. The message from the extender shows that an EDID has changed. Info: The extender stores the last attached display device’s EDID connected to the local monitor output. After disconnecting this device its EDID is still present at the extender’s memory, therefore no status change message is issued by the device if a display device having the same EDID is connected to that output. (The same display device is connected again).
7.3.2. Port Status Changed Description: This message is sent when any value changes in the response for the {PS} command. The message means that an input or output port’s state has changed e.g. a source or display device is connected or disconnected. Format Command none Response (PSC) CrLf
Example an input port looses signal ← (PSC)CrLf
Explanation: An input port (which had signal present before) detects no signal. The extender sends a message to indicate port status change. Info: The (PSC) message can be omitted by third party controller, or it can be used to trigger a {PS} command. In the latter case, the controller can be up to date with the port status without continuous queries.
7.4. Error responses Invalid output number Description: Given output number exceeds the installed number of outputs or equals zero.
Response
(ERR02)CrLf
Response
(ERR03)CrLf
Example → {U0:F10}CrLf ← (ERR02)CrLf Explanation: Location “U0” does not exist. Invalid value Description: Given value exceeds the maximum allowed value can be sent. Example → {DEU55}CrLf ← (ERR03)CrLf Explanation: “U55” is out of the range of user memory.

9. Troubleshooting 9.1. Picture is not displayed or distorted Usually, if the system seems not to transport the DVI signal as expected, the best strategy for troubleshooting is to check the signal integrity through the whole signal chain starting from the source side and moving forward to the receiver end. The following steps helps technicians to check the system step by step in right order. Step 1. Check the cables Check whether the extender is properly powered and whether POWER LED is lit. Try to unplug and reconnect the extender’s power cable. Due to the high data rates, the cables must fit very well. DVI connectors have to be locked with screws, no tensions or breaches are allowed. If your source or display has more connectors then make sure that the proper interface is selected. Fiber optical cables must also fit very well to avoid insertion loss. The user should ensure that any gap or misalignment between the fiber optical connectors is eliminated. The use of a Neutrik NO2-4FDW type LC duplex connector is recommended. If the endface surface of the fiber optical cable becomes contaminated, use special fiber optical cable cleaning equipment or a soft cloth to carefully clean it. When single link video signal is transmitted, only Link 1 is used, when dual link signal is transmitted, both channels are used. Please see Figure 4-1 on page 21 about the correct connections. Step 2. Check the source device Check the Source Connected LED on the front side of the transmitter. This LED indicates the presence of the +5V signal coming from the DVI source, which means the DVI source device is powered on and the cable link is well connected. If it is not illuminated, then your DVI source is either powered off or not working properly. The HDMI output can be turned off on most DVD players. Please refer to the user’s manual of your DVI source. The other option is that the cable is damaged, test the system with another one. If the source is a computer, then verify that the DVI output is selected and active. Try restarting your computer; if you only get a picture during the booting process, you have to review the driver settings. Step 3. Check the incoming signal Check the Signal Present LED on the front side of the transmitter. This LED indicates the presence of an active incoming DVI clock signal. If it is not illuminated, then no DVI signal is present at the DVI INPUT connector which means either an EDID related issue or source driver / setting failure. Step 4. Check EDID related problems Check the EDID status LED on the transmitter’s front panel. If it illuminated red, then an invalid EDID or an empty memory address is selected. Please select a valid EDID. Some graphic cards or drivers do not respond to the EDID setting as described in DVI standard. In most of the cases rebooting the computer will resolve the issue, because the graphic card reads EDID only once at bootup time. If a valid EDID is selected, and Signal Present LED is lit, then the display device is not capable of receiving the sent video format. Try emulating your display device’s EDID to the source. You will find help to this process in section 6.6.2 on page 32. If you get a picture now, you have an EDID related issue. See section 3.1 on page 16 for more information. Sometimes the data rate is too high for the used type of DVI cable. Try switching another EDID to the inputs with lower resolution. If the source is a computer and you are an expert user, you can try modifying the refresh rate, so you would be able to get it to work at higher resolutions over a weak connection.
Section 9. Troubleshooting
Page 49 / 55
Step 5. Check the signal at the local monitor output Check if there’s an outgoing signal on the OUTPUT connector of the transmitter. The input signal is always routed to the output connector. If there is a signal on the OUTPUT connector, then the problem is not EDID related. Check if the fiber optical cables are connected properly. Step 6. Check the incoming laser signal on the receiver Check the LASER DETECT LEDs on the front side of the receiver. Link1 and Link2 indicate the presence of the laser beam. When single link signal presents, only Link 1 LED is green, when dual link signal is present, both LEDs have to be green. All other cases mean that no laser is present at the fiber optical input connector, or the incoming optical signal has a very low level. Low laser level can be caused by high fiber attenuation or dust between fiber connectors. Step 7. Check the DVI output It may happen, that Laser is actively present on the input of the receiver, but it does not carry DVI video signal. Check the Signal Present LED on the front side of the receiver. This LED indicates the presence of an active incoming DVI clock signal. If it is not illuminated, then no DVI clock signal is present at the fiber optical input connector. In this case, continue the troubleshooting at Step 2. Step 8. Check the display status Check the Monitor Hotplug LEDs on the front side of the receiver. These LEDs indicate the presence of the Hotplug signals coming from the attached display devices. If they are not illuminated, then your displays are not connected, not powered on or not functioning properly.
