Setting Up HDMI Systems

If a source could support 16 or more sinks downstream from the HDMI UTPro and a 17th sink is added downstream of the HDMI UTPro, the protected content stops transmitting and the HDMI matrix switching input automatically clears its cache. The input will authenticate each of the downstream sinks again, but when it reaches the 17th sink, the protected content stops transmitting and the cache is cleared. This process will continue indefinitely until one of the HDMI UTPro’s downstream sinks has been unplugged, bringing the number back to 16 (the HDMI UTPro’s sink limit).

Four Examples of HDCP Source Sink Support (FIG. 35 through FIG. 38):

The next four figures illustrate system setups in which the source device supports a maximum of 3 sinks downstream of the first repeater (R1) with varying numbers of repeaters and destinations.
