As a True 4K HDMI EDID Emulator Adapter , the VC081A is designed to emulate and store one set of the EDID from the connected display while facilitating 4K video transmission. By learning the EDID from the HDMI display and relaying it to the video source, the VC081A helps to eliminate video communication problems that occur due to the EDID data synchronization failure between the HDMI video source and the connected display. This Adapter contains a unique "Learn Button Switch" to allow EDID to be effectively learned and saved. Once the EDID is learned, the VC081A can be used to keep a PC or server awake from a remote location over IP instead of the monitor. The VC081A is an ideal device for avoiding blank or blink display issues led by communication errors between sources and displays when integrating a Pro AV system.

Works Like a Charm

I tried several $5.00 HDMI emulators from Amazon for my Mini Beelink PC, which I access via AnyDesk. Nothing worked; they were all junk. Programmed the ATEN Emulator as instructed. Simple and WOW knocked it out of the park. For $50.00, it was a bargain.

Bought this device because I was seeing EDID issue when using a 50 foot HDMI cable between AVR and projector with a 4K ARC connection. The picture would go blank for about 1 second sporidically. This device to make the EDID errors go away, but the signal was downgraded from 4K to HD so it was not an acceptable solution.
