HDMI Daisy-Chained, Simplex, with RS232 serial
This
configuration
example
shows
a
daisy
‐
chained
SIMPLEX
mode
extension
application
for
HDMI
video.
This
configuration
will
NOT
support
HDCP
‐
protected
content,
since
the
HDCP
authentication
data
from
each
display
cannot
be
returned
to
the
transmitter.
If
the
source
content
is
protected
(with
HDCP),
then
there
will
be
no
video
output
are
the
receivers.
The
local
port
will
still
function,
however.
If
the
source
provides
embedded
HDMI
‐
audio,
that
will
be
passed
to
each
remote
HDMI
display
unmodified.
The
digital
audio
can
also
be
driven
out
the
analog
audio
jacks
as
a
configurable
option
(see
MAGui).
There
is
also
simplex
serial
‐
control
of
all
displays.
Since
a
simplex
(single)
fiber
is
being
used,
only
video
and
serial
can
flow
TO
the
display,
but
no
responses
can
be
returned
to
the
control
system.
If
the
displays
are
serial
‐
port
addressable,
then
the
default
serial
mode
(broadcast
to
all
receivers)
can
be
utilized.
If
the
displays
are
not
addressable,
then
it’s
possible
to
make
distinct
“virtual
connections”
with
individual
receivers’
serial
ports.
In
any
case,
since
the
general
operating
mode
is
simplex,
no
serial
data
can
be
returned
to
the
transmitter.
