"The 2A-130G VGA EDID Emulator is designed for ATEN KVM extender or video extender installations that do not utilize a local monitor at the site where the computer/video source is located. The 2A-130G emulates and stores a default ATEN EDID (Extended Display Identification Information) setting in a non-volatile memory. This means the computer/video source can still ""see"" the display, even though it is not directly connected.The 2A-130G is suitable for any ATEN KVM or video extender installation where a monitor is not required at the local site, providing a simple, cost-saving, and convenient solution for display-related boot-up problems."
