Malarpon Hdmi Edid Emulator Passthrough 3rd Generrtion Aluminum fit Headlessk...

Windows 10, bah! Someone at Microsoft should be fired for this one! So, win10 pc, 2 monitors connected to an older Lenovo ThinkCenter pc, both using hdmi ports. I leave the pc on as it is an amateur radio server running RCForb. Turning off the pc would shove everything on the left monitor (AOPEN 27HC5R Vbiipx) over to my old Samsung monitor. Turning the monitors back on and things would end up either back in its place or staying on the smaller Samsung monitor! Enter Malarpon emu! Plugged it in between pc and the hdmi cable going to the AOPEN monitor, turned both screens off, checked it using TightVNC from my phone and my home pc and everything is now staying in place! Make sure to purchase the correct screen resolution and refresh rate for your monitor's current setting, or you'll have issues with it. Might need to search for one that matches your settings EXACTLY, but these passthrough devices seem to do what they're supposed to, that is, fix Microsoft's stupidity with the whole EDID issue. Perhaps some day someone will have a hack to bypass it via software without having to write tons of code (as it is right now).

Worked great

I have this connected to an HDMI switch so that I can toggle a 1920x1080 monitor between two laptops. Works perfectly. The laptops have no idea that the monitor is temporarily gone, so Windows doesn't try to rearrange all my applications. Update: I find that it occasionally drops the signal momentarily, causing the screen to go blank for a second or two. It isn't happening often, so I'm not complaining, but it can be slightly distracting.

Works on my jetson when connecting to my video switch. if it doesn’t work for you your video switch may be bunk. had that problem on my previous switch.

Did not have any EDID impact, no video receiver signal provided. 0/5

It works fine in general, but for my scenario running at 4K 60Hz (or 59hz), i had to turn OFF windows 'ClearType Text' mode to display text sharply & clearly, if i dont turn 'ClearType Text' mode off, the texts are very noticeably distorted in rainbow colors. Go -> Windows Settings -> search for partial word 'Alias' or 'ClearType Text' and uncheck the this 'ClearType Text' option then follow the wizard (don't change anythinga0 NEXT -> .... -> NEXT to the end.

Added the EDID to my old KVM switch. Very nice.

These worked exactly as described. I had a small Android media player plugged into a switcher that feeds a CCTV system Every time I switched away from the player the device would lock up and it wouldn't be there when I switched back. I put this between the player and the switcher and it worked!!. It also made the switch less clunky.
