The EDID Emulator/Corrector is maybe the simplest and easiest fix to try in a HDMI network tha is giving you problems. You basically put the HDMI EDID Emulator between the source exhibiting the problem and the rest of the HDMI chain. If you still have problems. the HDMI EDID Emulator solution emulates other EDID configurations and tricks your problem device into thinking its connected to a different kind of display with different capabilities. It is HDMI 1.4 compliant so it will support 3D too. So for around $150 you can save whatever hair you haven't yet pulled out in all your frustration.

Why not buy this HDMI EDID Emulator / Corrector today?

This corrector will solve most HDCP/HDMI issues by just being connected between source and display. Once connected it can be set on the fly to perform specific EDID and Hot plug event.

There are a total of eight EDID banks inside the unit. When you press up or down button you can quickly move between any of them to select the desired one. Once you stop for a second or so, the system actually activates the selected EDID and starts the HPD (hot-plug) event. This is the event where Dr.HDMI will inform the source device that EDID has changed so the source must reconfigure its internal settings. This takes about 2 seconds as per standards. During this time you will not be able to change the EDID. After HPD event concludes you are free to change edid again if wanted.

If you press the middle button, the displays EDID is copied and placed into the EDID bank number 8. Once it is done, HPD event is also created and completes in about 2 seconds.

EDID banks are separated as follows:

• 1-5 : are presets factory configured and cannot be changed by user. However, They can be updated with a firmware update.
• 6-7 : are user configurable by the PC software.
• 8 : is the reserved one for downloading from the display.

This device also has internal logic to support HDCP streams by sniffing all DDC packets and filtering the EDID requests but passing all HDCP handshakes. The PC software can be used to edit any of the parameters on the fly or it can be used to load/save any customer EDID. Power is either drawn from the HDMI connector or from the USB port if connected. Firmware upgrades can be sent with a single .exe file automatically so no additional software is needed. Just launch the .exe. To fix compatibility or handshake issue between source and display you can also try to move the switch on the side in one or the other position.

List of Banks

• 1. Full, unlimited, all 3D features enabled
• 2. Full, unlimited, no 3D features
• 3. 1080i limited no 3D
• 4. 720p limited no 3D
• 5. 480/576p limited -no 3D
• 6&7 are special cases which initially hold the same info as #1 but they can be altered with PC software to be anything
• 8. is the display EDID which can be read by pushing the middle button.
• (Once you push the middle button, the contents are read from display and stored to #8 and it is activated)

Q: How do you switch between Banks ?
A: There are a total of eight EDID banks inside the unit. When you press up or down button you can quickly move between any of them to select the desired one. Once you stop for a second or so, the system actually activates the selected EDID and starts the HPD (hot-plug) event. This is the event where Dr.HDMI will inform the source device that EDID has changed so the source must reconfigure its internal settings. This takes about 2 seconds as per standards. During this time you will not be able to change the EDID. After HPD event concludes you are free to change edid again if wanted. If you press the middle button, the display is copied and placed into the EDID bank number 8. Once it is done, HPD event is also created and completes in about 2 seconds.

Q: Is this device HDCP Compliant?
A: Yes, the device is fully HDCP Compliant

Q: Does this eliminate or strip out HDCP?
A: No, it does not strip out or remove HDCP. It is designed for storing & emulating an EDID, and does not tamper with HDCP at all. If your source device requires HDCP, but your video sinks are not HDCP compliant (such as a TV that is too old), it will not be able to solve your video problem.

Q: I'm not getting any video - what can I do?
A: First - remember that many devices do not always carry out hot-swap HDMI connections correctly. Simple power off the device, and power it back on. Once it sees the unit connected, video will most likely come back.

If the video still does not appear after multiple power-cycles, try the following, in sequence:

1. Make sure the HDMI cables for INPUT and OUTPUT aren't switched on the Doctor HDMI

2. Double-check all HDMI cables in the chain, and make sure they're connected properly and working.

3. If the issue persists, proceed to troubleshoot: Try learning the EDID from your video sink (TV, Projector, or Display+Receiver combination) onto the unit and try again.

4. If it doesn't work - then the issue is not with the Doctor HDMI. We'll need to identify the "problem-causing device" in your setup as follows:

Identifying a "problem-causing" HDMI device:

1. Connect your video source directly into a TV/monitor/projector, WITHOUT the unit or any receivers. Connection should be as direct as possible.

2. If you get video, add one more device into your "HDMI chain" - such as a receiver, a balun, or a matrix switch.

3. Add only (1) device at a time, and observe the outcome. Do not try to add more than (1) device - or you will not be able to identify the "problem-causing device".

4. If all devices in the "HDMI chain" are added in, then learn the EDID onto the unit.

Q: Do I need to load custom EDID profiles to use the it?
A: No, the majority of installations can make use of one of the (5) default settings available. Unless you need 7.1 sound, or otherwise specifically instructed, there is no need to program a custom EDID onto the it.

Q: What does the HEAC/ARC switch do?
A: It enables/disables pin 14 on the HDMI connection to fix HEAC/ARC compatibility issues. By default, leave it at the "ARC" setting.
