HDCP

The HDMI group is HDCP compliant. When EDID Minder is enabled (default), HDCP is not supported if adapters are used to provide DVI inputs.

HDCP communication occurs between the selected input source and the output device directly (pass-though).

Audio Features

There are three audio modes to customize switching the digital and analog audio inputs to the output. They are selectable using SIS commands (see Audio input mode on page 24) or the PCS configuation software (see Audio Config Page on page 39). The modes are:

Mode 1 (Default)

When each RGBHV input has an associated audio input, the associated audio input follows the selected input.

Audio input A follows input 1 (yellow box in figure 14, below).

Input 1 selected: RGBHV 1 video and audio input A switch to the HDMI output.

Audio input B follows input 2 (green box in figure 14, below).

Input 2 selected: RGBHV 2 video and audio input B switch to the HDMI output.

Inputs 3 through 6 selected: the associated embedded audio switches to the output.
