Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
InstaGate Pro and SmartScale
HDMI 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 HDMI Boards also
support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD,
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.) With InstaGate Pro Technology, when
a source requires HDCP encrypted content, the inputs and compliant downstream devices are automatically authenticated ?
it just works.
4K HDMI Boards are HDCP 1.4 compatible and feature InstaGate Pro Technology* for low-latency switching of
HDCP protected content and support progressive resolutions from 480p up to 4096x2160p@60Hz (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:0).
4K HDMI Boards also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital,
DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.).
HDMI Boards meet HDCP Standards. For information on HDCP functionality for HDMI Boards, see "HDCP Support on
Enova DGX Switchers" on page 103.
HDMI Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the Enova DGX
Switcher.
HDMI Output Boards feature SmartScale Technology which automatically responds to the preferred EDID
information and scales the video to the best resolution and video settings for that display without manual setup.
