4K Linker – User Manual
Display HDCP 2.2 Content with Non-HDCP2.2 Compliant Devices
HDCP 2.2 is the new copy-protection scheme for 4K UHD content. Not only it is not backward
compatible but many recent 4K devices don’t even support it. Source devices, including media servers
and head-ends like Netflix, will encode their 4K content with this new scheme. TVs must be HDCP 2.2-
enabled to play it, and everything in the video chain including switches and receivers must be compliant
as well, or the display will go dark and/or display a HDCP error message. Bad news for consumers who
have purchased expensive, high-bandwidth, processor-rich switchers, receivers and displays to
accommodate 4K. While the newer products may support the bandwidth needs of 4K, they won’t play
copy-protected works until HDfury Linker is an active part of the setup.
2×1 Switcher up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz 18Gbps
Switching between 2 inputs up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz signal and scaling through all HDMI levels and
revision is now a reality, thanx to USB or push button, you can easily switch between 2 inputs that will
be scaled to one output. HDCP conversion can be configured and applied on the fly in order to always
output the type of HDCP signal encryption that your display or sink device is expecting.
HDR and Infoframe Metadata Live Injector and Extractor with Sound
The HDfury Linker is capable of injecting and extracting live Infoframe and HDR metadata at any
resolution and in real time while keeping HDMI sound. A further software solution for a complete real
time handling of infoframe and HDR metadata will be available for the Linker:

Rec.709<>BT2020 via 3×3 Matrix and RGB Coeff

not yet a guaranteed feature. Work in progress.
