The HDCP Encryption can be disabled on HDMI/DVI inputs or/and Program Output #1 / Program Output #2. This can be useful
when you have a computer which is detecting the HDCP compliance of your switcher and protecting the content by encrypting the
signal from this computer. This feature will disable the HDCP compliance on this specific HDMI/DVI input only.
If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure to use only HDCP compliant screens or projector. If it’s not the case,
the output image could be disabled.
Screen will go to black without displaying the HDCP input image, or partially layer out on HDCP content.
The output status can provide you all information about the output in real time. This feature is particularly useful when HDCP is
used with long cable to be sure the communication is well handled.
