About the PDS
• The PDS supports DVI, analog computer and video formats on the DVI-I inputs.
~ HDCP protocol is supported, and the PDS is considered an HDCP
repeater in this configuration. Incoming encrypted data is encrypted
going out, and all analog outputs, plus the freeze and LOGO store
functions are disabled when the PDS processes HDCP content. Refer to
the “A Word About HDCP
” section on page 4 for more details.
~ 1080i RGB input is supported on the DVI digital input.
• A Preview mode lets you view and adjust layers before moving them to Program.
• The PDS stores and recalls up to three full-screen logos.
• The system provides true seamless switching between all inputs, including one of
the three stored full-screen logos.
• An Auto Take feature (in the User Preference Menu) supports transitioning from
one input source to another without pressing TAKE.
• The following scaling and de-interlacing features are provided:
~ 10-bit scaling
~ 10-bit 4:2:2 de-interlacer with diagonal filter
~ 150 MHz maximum pixel rate
~ Low video delay: Interlaced sources, 3 fields (max)
• The PDS provides the ability to “auto acquire” input sources. The system
monitors inputs at all times, and if a timing change occurs, the system
automatically reacquires and displays the source — once the timing has been
measured.
• The PDS offers simple and intuitive menus:
~ Presentations can be switched without accessing any setup menus.
~ Two front-panel lockout modes enable you to lock out menu access,
either completely or partially.
• The PDS provides an integrated test pattern generator.
• The PDS offers an 3G/HD/SD SDI input as standard.
• A built-in web-based GUI enables you to perform all setup and transition
functions, just like the front panel.
• The File Association feature provides the ability to save and recall up to 64 input
configuration files, and associate each of them with one or more inputs.

The PDS supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), an industry-wide
content protection system designed to prevent illegal copying of digital audio and video
content across interfaces such as DisplayPort (DP), High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI), and Digital Visual Interface (DVI). HDCP prevents the display of encrypted content
on devices that do not support content protection.
The HDCP format was designed by Intel
®
Corporation, and it uses an “authentication and
key exchange” procedure to accomplish the required protection. For proper
implementation, products that are compatible with the HDCP format require a secure
connection to a compliant display, such as a projector or monitor.
When an HDCP-compliant display is connected to the PDS, an HDCP “session” is created.
In this session (which is transparent to the user), “keys” are exchanged between the source
device (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the HDCP-compliant display. The source device queries
