4K HDMI EDID Emulator & Manager – 60Hz HDR HDCP 2.2
This HDMI EDID Emulator & Manager is a compact, professional HDMI device designed to help resolve HDMI handshake, display detection and compatibility problems between HDMI source equipment and connected displays.
Supporting 4K Ultra HD at 60Hz (4:4:4), HDR10 and HDCP 2.2, this EDID management device allows installers to control the display information communicated to HDMI source equipment, helping to maintain reliable and consistent video and audio configurations.
When connecting HDMI equipment such as computers, media players, AV receivers, HDMI switches and displays, compatibility problems can sometimes occur due to incorrect or conflicting EDID information. This can result in black screens, incorrect resolutions, missing audio or unreliable display detection.
The Kramer PT-1C helps address these issues by allowing EDID information to be locked and configured, reducing problems caused by incompatible display capabilities or changing HDMI connections.
Four programmable DIP switches provide control over EDID-related settings, including HDCP support, multi-channel audio and deep colour capabilities.
Its compact design and HDMI powered operation make it particularly suitable for professional AV installations, conference rooms, digital signage systems and commercial display applications.

What Is an HDMI EDID Emulator?
EDID stands for Extended Display Identification Data. It is the information a monitor or television communicates to an HDMI source device, identifying supported resolutions, refresh rates, audio formats and other display capabilities.
In some installations, this information may be incorrectly detected or change when HDMI equipment is switched, disconnected or reconnected. This can cause display compatibility issues, including incorrect resolutions or loss of picture.
An HDMI EDID emulator or manager helps control the information presented to the HDMI source, allowing the equipment to negotiate a suitable and consistent output configuration.
Unlike a basic HDMI dummy plug, which simulates a connected monitor without providing a physical display connection, the Kramer PT-1C operates between HDMI source and display equipment, providing configurable EDID management for professional AV applications.

Important Information
Thhis emulator is designed for HDMI EDID management and compatibility troubleshooting. It does not convert video resolutions, upscale or downscale signals, or bypass HDCP copy protection.
The connected HDMI source, display and any intermediate equipment must support the required video and audio formats.
Correct configuration may be necessary depending on the installation.
