The NTI DP8K-EDID-EMLTR DisplayPort 1.4 EDID Emulator stores and reproduces EDID information for a DisplayPort display, and resolves video communication problems that occur between a DisplayPort video source and display. It is designed for systems that require EDID signals to be continuously provided without interruption, and ensures that the EDID signal is not lost when using AV/KVM extenders and splitters. Additionally, the emulator can be used in place of a monitor to keep the graphics card of a PC or server awake for remote access over IP.
Please Note!
Not recommended for use in conjunction with KVM or video-only switches.
Reason: When the input channel is deselected, the emulator will be powered off. The host computer connected to that input channel via DP emulator will recognize the emulated monitor as disconnected.
NTI's DisplayPort Hotplug Maintainer emulates a DisplayPort display (sink device) by providing Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal to the DisplayPort source device. When used with a KVM/video switch, the DP-HP-MNTR-SRC eliminates the need to reconfigure monitor settings when switching between computers.
