4.10 HDCP management
4.10.1 Input HDCP detection
The input HDCP detection is managed by the input components according to HDCP specification.
4.10.2 Output HDCP detection
The SmartMatriX² manages the output HDCP detection according to one of the following criteria:
- Hot plug,
- 3-second period attempt.
4.10.3 Keys' checking
Keys' checking is performed according to the most restrictive condition among the 2 following ones:
- Every 2 seconds
- Every 128 frames
4.10.4 Output management
HDCP protected content can be displayed only on HDCP protected outputs or displays. Therefore, whenever
an HDCP protected source is placed into a layer routed to a non-protected output, the SmartMatriX² will not
output the protected content on this non-protected output, and the layer will be grayed.
If possible, the SmartMatriX² will allow to display all other non-protected contents, otherwise the entire
output will be muted until the protected content is no longer routed.
