Description

GF-EDD-DP – DisplayPort EDID Detective

DisplayPort EDID Detective for Reliable Signal Integrity

The DisplayPort EDID Detective from Gefen ensures seamless communication between DisplayPort sources and displays by resolving handshake issues that often result in video loss or resolution instability. Designed for professional AV applications, this inline EDID management tool stabilizes signal transmission by capturing and emulating display EDID information—critical for maintaining consistent performance in installations with varying equipment or long cable runs.

Stabilize DisplayPort Connections with EDID Management

Supporting DisplayPort 1.4 and up to 8K30 (4:2:2 8-bit) or 4K60 (4:4:4 12-bit) resolutions, the DisplayPort EDID Detective maintains continuous signal integrity even during power cycles or hot swaps. By eliminating EDID-related sync issues, this device is ideal for control rooms, digital signage networks, and enterprise-grade conference setups where high-resolution video stability is essential.

Simple Controls for Custom EDID Configuration

This compact EDID management utility offers six pre-loaded EDID profiles and six user memory slots for custom configurations. Users can copy EDID data from displays or select profiles via onboard DIP switches. The unit also allows control over HDCP passthrough or blocking, making it flexible for systems requiring tailored content protection settings. The Hot Plug Detect (HPD) feature maintains constant communication between source and display devices, reducing signal interruptions.

Audio and HDR Compatibility for AV Systems

In addition to stabilizing video, the DisplayPort EDID Detective supports multichannel audio formats such as Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X™, and LPCM 7.1. It is also compatible with leading HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision™, and HLG. This allows integrators to maintain premium AV experiences across modern multimedia environments without EDID conflicts.

Reliable EDID Detective for Professional Environments

Engineered for commercial installations, the Gefen DisplayPort EDID Detective features a compact metal enclosure and USB-C power connectivity. It integrates with Gefen’s Syner-G™ software for firmware updates and system diagnostics. The product ships in environmentally responsible packaging and includes a 3-year limited warranty, offering long-term confidence for AV professionals.
