HDCP
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection:
A “key” encoded into the HDMI/DVI signal
that prevents video data piracy. If a source
is HDCP coded and connected via
HDMI/DVI without the proper HDCP
decoding, the picture is put into a “snow
vision” mode or changed to a low
resolution. For normal content distribution
the source and the display device must be
enabled for HDCP “software key”
decoding.

ITU-656
The ITU Radio communication Sector
(ITU-R) is a standards body subcommittee
of the International Telecommunication
Union relating to radio communication.
ITU-656 (a.k.a. SDI), is a digitized video
format used for broadcast grade video.
Uncompressed digital component or digital
composite signals can be used. The SDI
signal is self-synchronizing, uses 8 bit or
10 bit data words, and has a maximum
data rate of 270 Mbit/s, with a minimum
bandwidth of 135 MHz.
