The DisplayPort 1.2 EDID Emulator copies the EDID of the desired DisplayPort display and connects directly to the DisplayPort source to ensure that the EDID is not lost in connections between devices such as splitters and extenders.
Does not support headless operation – monitor must be connected.
Does not support DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST).
Reason: When the input channel is deselected, the emulator will be powered off. The host computer connected to that input channel via DP emulator will recognize the emulated monitor as disconnected. An emulator supporting headless and video pass-through operations is required for KVM switch applications.
NTI's DisplayPort Hotplug Maintainer emulates a DisplayPort display (sink device) by providing Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal to the DisplayPort source device. When used with a KVM/video switch, the DP-HP-MNTR-SRC eliminates the need to reconfigure monitor settings when switching between computers.
