Integral 2 manual — pro tips

Dolby Vision

DV mode 0 and 1 travel through an 8b RGB container, so it is normal that the Integral 2 reports RGB 8b when playing such a DV mode. If the Integral 2 is not directly connected to your DV TV and you have equipment in between, first connect the Integral 2 bottom output to your TV input and let the Integral 2 boot up. Then disconnect and insert the equipment in between. The Integral 2 will sniff your TV EDID and present it to your source, therefore allowing you to go through equipment that doesn't support Dolby Vision.

If the Windows GUI does not display nicely on your screen

Make sure the GUI isn't already running, then right-click the GUI exe file (the regular one; there's no need to do this with the 200dpi version) and select “Property”.
Click the “Compatibility” tab.
Look down for “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and check the box.
For the drop-down under “Scaling Performed by” choose “System - Enhanced”.
Start the GUI and revel in how it works normally now.

iRule: use \x0D instead of \r (or \x0A for \n) to terminate the RS232 command string.
Some sources like the X1S or K8500 might need to have the power cord removed/reconnected between EDID changes.
Atmos via ARC requires an HDMI cable that supports 192kHz ARC — even if a cable supports a 600MHz video signal it can still fail for a 192kHz audio signal.
You can read one, or mix two, connected sink EDIDs, apply forced flags and an algorithm to it and then save it as an EDID file, thus creating your own custom EDID variation.
Any 4:2:2 signal is always processed at 12b and never clipped — that's why it mentions “up to 12b”.
Source vs Integral 2 frame rate reported: very few devices report the correct frame rate. It is all about the clock frequency — the theory is 24/1.001 = 23.976023976, but there is no PLL at the source that actually gives a corresponding clock which would yield that. Once a signal leaves the source, the clock is always off and usually ebbs and flows. The Integral 2 shows what the frame rate really is from the particular source rather than approximating what it should be, as many others do.
