DVI Input & Output Boards
107
Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
DVI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate Pro Technology for low-latency switching of HDCP
protected content and support computer video up to 1920x1200 and HDTV up to 1080p. The EDID of the input will
need to be changed to allow for HDMI formatted signals, so that the source device can send out that signal style.
If the EDID on the input board has been properly modified and the downstream sink has proper declarations in its
EDID, the DVI connectors also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM
(Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, etc.).
NOTE:
InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates HDCP latency and interruptions on all displays in a system. (These conditions
are typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices.) key limitations on source
devices are also eliminated by allowing them to see only a single sink key from the DVI Input Board’s input connection.
With InstaGate Pro Technology, when a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant downstream
devices are automatically authenticated - it just works.
NOTE:
Enova DGX Boards do not support CEC.
Audio Support on DVI Boards
When DVI Boards are set up to support HDMI signals, the audio information in the HDMI Board chapter applies (see
