Lindy 32117 DVI EDID Emulator with Clone Function

The Lindy DVI EDID Emulator with Cloning (model 32117) ensures continuous EDID communication between a source and display in systems using DVI-I / DVI-D connections. It is designed to resolve EDID-related issues that can occur with AV/KVM extenders, switches and splitters, and can act as a virtual monitor to keep a PC or server awake for remote access. The compact PVC housing (55 x 43 x 15 mm) and black finish make it easy to install in confined spaces.

Advantages

The emulator provides uninterrupted EDID signals to the source, preventing loss of video or incorrect resolution settings when intermediary devices cannot pass EDID information. It supports cloning of a display’s EDID as well as several pre-set EDID profiles covering common DVI resolutions and refresh rates, enabling quick deployment without mandatory cloning. With a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200, 3.96 Gbit/s bandwidth and broad compatibility with DVI-I/DVI-D ports, it is suitable for a variety of professional AV and KVM setups.

Suitable for

• AV/KVM extenders where EDID information is not passed through
• Switches and splitters that disrupt EDID communication
• Remote servers or PCs that require a persistent display connection for IP access
• Installations needing a compact, inline EDID solution for DVI connections

How to use

Connect the emulator inline between the source (PC or media player) and the display or install it at the source end before any extenders, switches or splitters. To clone a display’s EDID, follow the device cloning procedure (connect to the target display and initiate the clone function as described in the product manual). Alternatively, select one of the pre-set EDID profiles to provide common DVI resolutions and refresh rates without cloning. Ensure secure connections to DVI-I/DVI-D ports and power cycle devices if needed to apply the emulated EDID.

Recommendations

Use the Lindy DVI EDID Emulator with Cloning when installing AV/KVM extenders, switches or splitters that may interrupt EDID handshakes. If predictable resolution behavior is required across multiple displays, clone the EDID from the most representative display or choose an appropriate pre-set profile; reboot the source after installation to ensure the emulated EDID is recognised.
