the display to ensure that the equipment is HDCP compliant before video is displayed.
Non-HDCP equipment such as a PC will work with any DVI-compliant display, but HDCP-
compliant equipment shows protected content only on HDCP-compliant displays.
With the HDCP option enabled, the PDS accepts encrypted content from an external
source, decrypts the signal for internal processing such as scaling or color balance, then
re-encrypts the output video for display. During this process, all PDS output connectors that
are not HDCP-compliant are turned off, when the protected content is selected to be shown
on those outputs. In addition, if a non-HDCP compliant monitor is connected to the DVI
Program output, Preview will show Black for an HDCP source regardless of the HDCP
capability of the DVI monitor connected to the Preview output. This is to maintain the true
"look-ahead" preview functionality of the PDS.
This feature is available on the PDS DVI input and output connections.
Please note the following important points:
• You can turn the HDCP option on or off. If the option is turned off and the signal is
encrypted, the PDS does not send the signal to the output device.

In the diagram:
• Up to nine sources can be connected to the PDS:
~ 4 x analog inputs (on HD-15 connectors), for a variety of YUV and
RGBHV sources, including CVBS and Y/C.
~ 4 x DVI inputs, for computer sources. These four DVI connectors also
support analog RGB inputs, and these inputs are universal, and accept
