A projector that only syncs on the third try? A PC that reshuffles its desktop every time the AV receiver switches off?\u003c\/strong\u003e In most of these cases the video signal itself is fine. What goes wrong is the short conversation HDMI devices have before any picture appears: the source asks what the display can handle, the display answers with its EDID, and a Hot Plug Detect signal tells the source when to ask again. When that conversation is unstable, the picture is too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr HDMI is HDfury's original answer to that problem. This compact adapter sits between your source and the rest of the HDMI chain and takes over the conversation. Instead of reacting to every receiver, splitter or display that switches on and off, the source reads one fixed, predictable EDID chosen on Dr HDMI. No software is needed for everyday use: pick a bank with the arrow buttons and the device does the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight EDID banks are built in. Press ▲ or ▼, pause for about a second, and the selected bank becomes active. Dr HDMI then sends a Hot Plug Detect event of roughly two seconds, so the source re-reads the capabilities and reconfigures its output. The middle button copies the EDID of the connected display into bank 8 and activates it immediately: ideal when you want a source to keep seeing exactly the screen it works best with, even when that screen is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 1\u003c\/strong\u003e – full capabilities, all 3D features enabled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 2\u003c\/strong\u003e – full capabilities without 3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 3\u003c\/strong\u003e – limited to 1080i, no 3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 4\u003c\/strong\u003e – limited to 720p, no 3D: the safest first test when there is no picture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 5\u003c\/strong\u003e – limited to 480\/576p, no 3D, for older or critical equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBanks 6 and 7\u003c\/strong\u003e – your own EDID, programmed via Mini-USB with the Windows EDID Utility (factory default: same as bank 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBank 8\u003c\/strong\u003e – a copy of the EDID of the connected display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Dr HDMI earns its place\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePC and HTPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e the graphics card keeps seeing the same display, so windows, resolution and audio output stop jumping around when the TV or receiver goes to standby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome cinema with AV receiver and projector:\u003c\/strong\u003e a fixed EDID in front of the chain makes slow or unreliable sync easier to diagnose and often solves it outright.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSplitters, switches and extenders:\u003c\/strong\u003e one shared profile that every connected display can handle, instead of the source guessing between different EDIDs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOlder equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e deliberately cap a source at 1080i, 720p or 480\/576p when a converter or display cannot handle more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem integrators:\u003c\/strong\u003e a programmed EDID in bank 6 or 7 keeps an installation predictable, and the source output stays active even with no display connected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn handshake problems there is one more trick: a small HEAC\/ARC slide switch that disconnects or reconnects HDMI pin 14. Input equalisation and cable-loss compensation help on longer runs. Power comes from the HDMI connection itself; a USB power supply can be added when the source delivers too little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs this the right Dr HDMI for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal HDMI 1.4a model\u003c\/strong\u003e, built for chains that stay within 1080p60, 1920×1200 (WUXGA) or 2K.
