Keys’ checking is performed according to the most restrictive condition among the 2 following ones:
- Every 2 seconds
- Every 128 frames
HDCP protected content can be displayed only on HDCP protected outputs or displays. Therefore, whenever
an HDCP protected source is placed into a layer routed to a non-protected output, the
QuickMatriX
will not
output the protected content on this non-protected output, and the layer will be grayed.
If possible, the
QuickMatriX
will allow to display all other non-protected contents, otherwise the entire
output will be muted until the protected content is no longer routed.
The HDCP negotiation can be enabled or disabled on all HDCP inputs.
The HDCP negotiation can be enabled or disabled on all HDCP outputs.
The
QuickMatriX
can manage HDCP repeaters on its outputs: up to 32 display devices can authenticate
simultaneously on each output.
In order to permit quick identification of all the HDCP operations on the device, the
QuickMatriX
provides a
full set of status summary to help the user with the HDCP management:
- A front panel menu that displays all the general HDCP status of all inputs and outputs
