Problem solving product
We had an unusual problem with our local cable provider's cable boxes not working well with our company's digital signage system after we had to upgrade from our 10+ year-old cable boxes to the new-generation of cable boxes for our CATV video streaming source. The new cable boxes perform self-maintenance routines, and the HDMI video output is reset, requiring a new sync with the monitor/display to negotiate the proper screen resolution. Since the cable box is not directly connected to a traditional monitor/display, there is no response to the EDID handshake to set the required video resolution format. Using this adapter solves our issue because we can choose the 1080p preset, and it will respond to the cable box and allow the EDID handshake to complete.
Not everything works right out of the box. This did.
This came in fairly minimal packaging. All I had to do was open the cardboard box and pick it out. I plugged it in between my television and the computer and let it record the EDID, then I plugged it between the computer and the capture card. The Blackmagic capture card which had stymied so many of my attempts to capture a 1080p signal started working the way I wanted it to after inserting this EDID emulator into the chain. The rotary dial, by the way, was fairly resistant to accidental nudges. IT took a bit of effort to get the dial to change its position.
