•
®
switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption
between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional
AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to
one or more displays.
EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between
•
connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and
reliably output content for display.
Supports custom EDID and output resolutions — User-defined output resolutions
•
up to 600 MHZ pixel clock can be supported by uploading custom EDID files or
capturing EDID from a display or other destination device.
•
Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by
selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which
preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
•
HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to
a non-HDCP compliant display, a full-screen green signal is sent to the display for
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display.
•
HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables
embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper
connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
•
Auto Input Memory — When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position,
and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected
again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
•
Output Standby Mode — Can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to
the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or
flat panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance
lamp or panel life.

techniques that help maximize image quality for content sources that originated from
film.
•
Internal video test patterns for calibration and setup — Provides video test
patterns and audio pink noise to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of display
devices.
•
Integrated audio delay — Embedded audio is passed through to all outputs, and it is
automatically delayed to compensate for latency introduced by the video processing.
•
Front panel security lockout — Locks out all front panel functions except for input
selection; however, all functions are available through Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 control.
Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables control and proactive monitoring over a
