The DVI Parrot from Carallon.
USA - Launched at PLASA09 and currently showing at LDI in Orlando, the DVI Parrot by Carallon is billed as the first truly user-configurable EDID emulator. EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a message, normally stored in computer monitors and other display devices, that computer graphics cards must see in order to function properly. An EDID emulator is necessary wherever devices with graphics cards are connected to projectors, plasma screens, LED displays, matrix switchers and format convertors.

The Parrot offers complete configurable control, allowing quick and easy modification of all EDID parameters, greatly simplifying system set-up and trouble-shooting, especially of the large complex video systems that are becoming so popular, says the company.

The Parrot is easily configured via USB on either Windows or Macintosh computers using a programme called the Parrot Trainer. The Trainer software allows the capture, editing, and saving of EDID data for multiple Parrots, making it suitable for systems with numerous graphics cards connected to various DVI devices. The custom settings, once captured, can be permanently saved.

The Carallon DVI Parrot and related products are exclusively distributed worldwide by TMB.
