DDC-GHOST-VGA DDC - ADDER - Ghost (Inline DDC Recorder) VGA - END OF LIFE

DDC-GHOST-VGA pmvd515

Description:
DDC-GHOST-VGA DDC Ghost ( Inline DDC Recorder ) VGA

The DDC Ghost module is designed to
attach in-line with a VGA connection
in order to present Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) to the video
controller independently of the actual
monitor, switch or extender unit. Video
signals are passed straight through the
DDC Ghost.
The Extended Display Identification Data
(EDID) information stored within the DDC
Ghost can either be cloned from a monitor
or used with a standard set of information
(see Standard EDID Information).

Features:
True DDC Emulation
Unless an extender actively supports DDC, some high performance video cards cannot be used at high resolutions. The DDC Ghost supports dual page DDC ensuring compatible resolutions are supported.

Interface Powered
The DDC Ghost takes its power directly from VGA pin 9. This reduces clutter, and makes installation as simple as possible. In situations where no pin 9 power is available, DDC Ghost can be powered directly via the optional 5V power supply.

Full EDID Cloning
The DDC Ghost will clone a full dual page EDID (Extended Display Identification Data). This makes the DDC Ghost compatible with the latest ranges of display devices. The first page is the standard EDID data, and the second covers the extended data block.

Standard EDID Data
Our expertise with DDC EDID data has allowed us to put together an extended profile which is designed to cover most display devices. As such, the DDC Ghost may be used in connections where no data is otherwise available. You can choose whether to use this data or the original screen EDID attached.

Push and Go Setup
The DDC Ghost interface is secure and simple. Setting up the device is a single button process directed by the in built LED indicator. This makes changing display devices a fast and simple process.

Cloning EDID information
The DDC Ghost module contains a default set of EDID values which
may be used immediately with most monitors (see Standard EDID
Information). Alternatively, you can use a ‘donor’ monitor from which
you can clone new EDID information.
To clone EDID information
1 Link the BLACK connector of the DDC Ghost to the donor monitor
(diagram A).
2 Provide power for the DDC Ghost module in one of two ways, either:
• Link the BLUE connector of the DDC Ghost to a computer video
output for the duration of the cloning operation (diagram B), or
• Attach the optional 5VDC power adapter to the socket on the side
of the DDC Ghost module (diagram C).
3 Ensure that the donor monitor and the DDC Ghost module are
powered. The DDC Ghost red STATUS indicator should be on.
4 Using a narrow implement, press and hold the recessed button
labelled CLONE on the side of the module (diagram D). The STATUS
indicator will begin to flash slowly for five seconds. Release the
button while the indicator is still slowly flashing.
• If new EDID information is available, it will be copied to the DDC
Ghost module memory.
• If there is no EDID information to clone then the existing DDC
Ghost memory will be not altered.
• If there is an error during cloning then the DDC Ghost will be
automatically reset to its standard values.
5 When the operation is complete, the STATUS indicator will flash
rapidly five times. Disconnect the DDC Ghost module from the donor
monitor.
Resetting EDID information
If required, you can reinstate the standard EDID values (see Standard
EDID Information) into the DDC Ghost module memory.
To reset the EDID information
1 Ensure that the DDC Ghost is powered (either from the video output
of a host computer or an optional power adapter) and check that the
red STATUS indicator is on.
2 Using a narrow implement, press and hold the recessed button
labelled CLONE on the side of the module (diagram D). The red
STATUS indicator will flash slowly for five seconds and then will gooff for a further five seconds.
3 Release the button while the red STATUS indicator is off, following
the five slow flashes. The reset operation will take place and then
the red STATUS indicator will flash rapidly five times to indicate a
successful completion.
