This Analog Way product has a 3 year warranty on parts and labor, back to factory. This warranty does not include faults resulng
from user negligence, special modicaons, electrical surges, abuse (drop/crush), and/or other unusual damage. In the unlikely
event of a malfuncon, please contact your local Analog Way oce for service.
The HDCP Encrypon can be disabled on HDMI/DVI inputs or/and Program Output #1 / Program Output #2. This can be useful
when you have a computer which is detecng the HDCP compliance of your switcher and protecng the content by encrypng the
signal from this computer. This feature will disable the HDCP compliance on this specic HDMI/DVI input only.
If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure to use only HDCP compliant screens or projector. If it’s not the case,
the output image could be disabled.
Screen will go to black without displaying the HDCP input image, or parally layer out on HDCP content.
The output status can provide you all informaon about the output in real me. This feature is parcularly useful when HDCP is
used with long cable to be sure the communicaon is well handled.
The Autotake funcon performs a TAKE automacally each me an input is selected.
