The Hall Technologies HT-EM-8K is an 8K HDMI EDID emulator that acts as an HDMI monitor by emulating the EDID found in a typical HDMI monitor. Most PCs and laptops require a special handshake from the display before they output video. This handshake involves reading the EDID table from the monitor. The EDID contains information such as native or supported resolutions and video formats. Some older equipment may not support the EDID properly and the end result is that you often cannot get video from your PC to the external display. This emulator helps to solve potential handshake issues. By default the EDID in the HT-EM-8K is pre-programmed with many standard resolutions up to HDMI 2.0. The emulator can also learn an EDID from a monitor, and can also be placed in a mode to support HDMI 2.1.
