Before turning the Lock feature on, you first must select a valid Lock source. Some
units may not have all Lock sources available, depending on hardware limitations –
see Specifications for details of limitations on your unit.
If the Lock source you choose is not valid, then Genlock or Lock & Mix will be
temporarily disabled, until the Lock source becomes valid again. When disabled,
the resolution previously specified in ‘Output res’ becomes the output resolution.
Your unit can handle a very wide array of inputs and convert them all to a single
output signal with defined characteristics. This output resolution will remain in place
until changed or it may be overridden by the lock mode and source.
The top line of the display will show the current output resolution selected. Some
units will have a limited number of output resolutions depending on their function
(e.g. Down Converters are more limited than Video Scalers).
HDCP is handled only on certain units with DVI outputs, so this menu may not
appear on your own unit. HDCP is a ‘High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection’
system, which can ensure that a high definition video signal cannot be received by
units not equipped with a HDCP receiver.
This menu lets you see the current status of the output and whether HDCP is
supported or active, and also lets you turn off the output’s HDCP encryption
system. Note, however, that turning HDCP off at the output will also prevent
HDCP-encrypted signals from being received by the unit – see the table below.
By default, HDCP on the output is turned On - so that if your attached DVI display is
HDCP-compliant, then your output will be encrypted (regardless of whether the
input to the scaler is encrypted). Note that you don’t have to attach a display to the
output of the scaler – another unit can be connected instead, in which case that unit
is known as a ‘repeater’.
Please also see the HDCP menu item in ‘Adjust sources’, as this controls
availability of HDCP at the DVI input. The status message given in brackets has
the following meaning:
1024 x 768 60Hz
HDCP (Active) On
1024 x 768 60Hz
Output res. [28]
