2. The unit will boot and LEDs may flash in a random sequence.
3. If no video input is detected, the Power/Signal LED will light up Red
4. As soon as a valid video signal is detected on the input connector, the Power/
Signal LED will turn Green and the SignalType LEDs will indicate the detected
signal type (3G/HD/SD).
5. The output plugs become active immediately after a valid signal has
been detected.
TIP :
- Your unit includes dual SDI output connectors, which means you have a
built-in distribution amplifier to feed your video signal to two sources at the
same time.
- This unit has been tested and is compatible with all Apple equipment, includ-
ing Mac, iPad and iPhone. However, HDCP-protected content like iTunes
movies will not play through this unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING HCDP
The HDMI output of a Blu-ray player or other HDMI devices may have HDCP
encryption intended for content protection. HDCP protection may be active
only for certain video files, depending on the device. The HDCP standard only
allows for HDCP encrypted material to be converted to another format if that
format also supports HDCP and the material is re-encrypted. The only interface
formats that support HDCP are HDMI, DVI, Display Port and UDI. SDI does not
support HDCP and therefore the conversion from HDMI with HDCP to SDI is
against the HDCP standard.
Circumventing HDCP is against US law
In order to convert from HDMI with HDCP to HD-SDI the HDCP encryption will
have to be removed. Removing HDCP and outputting the signal in a different
format that does not support HDCP is circumventing the copyright protection.
Circumventing any form of digital copy right protection is prevented by the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and is against US law.
