The new Atlona HDMI EDID Recorder-Writer with Serial Control tool, the AT-HDSync

The analog to digital transition in the AV world is almost complete, but still plagued by sync issues. As a solution based manufacturer of Audio Video accessories, Atlona Technologies strives to eliminate the issues end users and installers face, no matter the application. When desired HD sources are unable able to recognize displays, and vice versa, this inability to display the image properly if at all, can make the difference between a successful install, or having margin eaten away from return visits. Atlona has officially released a guaranteed fix to sync issues with the new HDSync. This companion to their previous DVI EDID Recorder (AT-DVISync) can emulate the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information. It can record EDID/DDC (Display Data Channel) information of any desired HD display, and place that recorded information between the source and the conjoint component (ie: switcher, extender, processor, etc…). Essentially, this unit will trick the source into thinking that it is connected to the display the entire time.

Atlona’s HDSync stores the EDID information and recalls a default EDID setting in non-volatile memory that supports HDCP handshaking. AT-HDSync allows your HDMI source to boot directly from AT-HDSync, so users can detach the monitor from the HDMI connection at any time while installing. In addition, the HDSync can read and store the EDID of your HDMI display and give users the ability to modify the EDID and upload the modified EDID to displays.
