Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
HDCP Compliance
If a connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the Output Board
will not
send the signal to it. This does not
affect other outputs the source may be routed to. This allows compliant displays to show content from source devices
even if the source devices are switched to non-compliant displays. Non-compliant displays can easily be identified
because they display a dark red image (via an HDMI/DVI Output) or an orange image (via a DXLink RX) to indicate that
the authentication process failed.
InstaGate Pro Technology
DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards meet HDCP standards and support InstaGate Pro Technology. For information on
HDCP functionality for DXLink boards, see "HDCP Support on Enova DGX Switchers" on page 98.
DXLink Twisted Pair 4K Boards provide EDID emulation support with plug-and-play information provided by the
Enova DGX Switcher.
DXLink Twisted Pair 4K input and output connectors incorporate HDMI Technology, are HDCP 1.4 compatible, and
feature InstaGate Pro Technology* for low-latency switching of HDCP protected content. The DXLink Twisted Pair
4K connectors also support embedded audio, both linear PCM (stereo audio) and non-linear PCM (Dolby Digital,
Dolby TrueHD, DTS, etc).
