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. 
Precautions, Notes and Abrreviattion List (continued)
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.
