User-friendly setup and troubleshooting tools are provided through the front panel, or via Crestron Toolbox™ software, to simplify setup.

DigitalMedia switchers are part of a High Definition Audio-Video distribution system that allows virtually any mix of AV sources to be distributed throughout the home from a centralized rack location using DigitalMedia.

DigitalMedia

Creating a professional HD AV distribution system means handling the challenges that come with HDMI. HDMI is the new standard for interfacing high-definition AV equipment, but despite its many benefits, it was not developed with multi-room distribution in mind. Crestron has developed DigitalMedia, the first complete HD AV distribution system that allows virtually any mix of HD AV sources to be distributed throughout the home from a centralized rack location.

DigitalMedia distributes uncompressed digital video and audio signals over a choice of shielded twisted-pair copper wire or multi-mode fiber. DigitalMedia manages all of the different signals and devices, matching each source's output to the capabilities of the selected display(s) without using scaling or compression. Every signal is preserved in its native video resolution and audio format, ensuring a pure, lossless signal path throughout.

Integrated Ethernet and USB HID distribution allows computers and media servers, to be installed out-of-sight and accessed from anywhere in the house. Crestron control is also built-in for controlling the displays and other room devices without additional wiring.

Modular Architecture

DM switchers feature a modular architecture with eight (DM-MD8X8), 16 (DM-MD16X16), or 32 (DM-MD32X32) input card slots and two output card slots with two, four, six, or eight outputs. Each input card slot on a DM switcher is

field-installable, allowing for easy and flexible system configuration with the ability to make changes to the system as needs change.

A wide selection of DM input cards are offered to support a complete range of digital and analog AV signal types. Depending on the switcher, up to eight output cards may be installed to feed up to eight (DM-MD8X8), 16 (DM-MD16X16), or 32 (DM-MD32X32) DM Receivers/Room Controllers using either DigitalMedia (DM) Cable or CresFiber. DigitalMedia allows for cable lengths up to 450 feet (137 m) using DM cable, or 1000 feet (300 m) using CresFiber. HDMI outputs are also available for direct connection to centralized audio processors and video monitors.

Output Expansion

An HDMI loop back output is provided on every input card to allow the inputs of up to five DM switchers to be daisy-chained, enabling the configuration of very large distribution systems with many DM and HDMI outputs.

Versatile Audio Routing

HDMI is the key to handling all the latest 7.1 surround sound formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™. Great for your high-end home theater, but how do you share that same source with other audio zones in the house?

DigitalMedia allows for the simultaneous distribution of multi-channel surround sound (i.e., Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio) and two-channel stereo signals from the same HDMI source. Equipped with a DMC-HD-DSP, DMC-F-DSP, or DMC-CAT-DSP input card (all sold separately), the DM switcher employs onboard DSP processing to derive a stereo down-mix from the original multi-channel signal. Both signals can be routed separately or simultaneously from any of the switcher's DM outputs, allowing either signal to be selected for output at each DM receiver location.

The switcher also converts the digital stereo signal to analog to enable sharing with every other room in the house via an AAE, CNX-PAD8A (both sold separately), or other multi-room audio distribution system. DM switchers also allow surround sound processors and amplifiers to be located centrally instead of at the display location using optional local HDMI outputs.

Computer Compatibility

Besides handling every available HDTV format supported by HDMI, DigitalMedia also supports the distribution of DVI, DisplayPort multimode*, and RGB computer signals, and is fully compatible with DVI computer monitors up to 1920 x 1200 WUXGA.

Built-in Ethernet Switch

In addition to transporting digital video and audio, DigitalMedia can also extend 10/100 Ethernet out to each display and source device via DM room controllers and select DM transmitters, providing high-speed connectivity for any room device that requires a LAN connection. Its Gigabit Ethernet connection to the external LAN helps maximize bandwidth for each network port. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage all of the DM devices in the system and provide display control in each room.

USB HID Switch

DigitalMedia lets you centralize all HD sources – not just television receivers and DVD changers, but also media servers and computers. Built-in USB HID (Human Interface Device) signal routing allows USB HID compatible keyboards and mice to be connected at a remote display location, conference table or presentation lectern, extending their signals through to the centralized equipment via USB HID ports provided on select switcher input cards.

EDID Format Management

Using HDMI provides a variety of video and audio formats to keep track of, and chances are not every device in a system supports all of the same formats. In a typical one-room system, HDMI attempts to resolve this confusion using EDID (Extended Display Identification Data). When two HDMI devices are connected together, the receiving device (a display or surround sound processor) uses EDID to announce its format capabilities to the source device (a TV tuner or video player), which in turn configures itself to output the most effective format that both devices can support.

However, serious conflicts arise in a facility filled with different displays and audio systems. For instance, the Blu-ray Disc player that is feeding a 1080p projector in the theater may restrict itself to a lower resolution, or even shut off completely, if someone decides to view the same signal on the 20" TV in the kitchen. And, instead of listening to a 7.1 Dolby TrueHD format supported by a high-end theater sound system, the listening experience may be limited to Dolby 5.1, or even stereo sound.

DM switchers use EDID to prevent such conflicts, assessing the formats supported by each system device, and then allowing the installer to assign compatible devices in logical arrangements. Conflicting combinations can be prohibited so only the optimum signal formats get delivered to each display and audio system in the house. All DigitalMedia wiring is also tested for integrity and bandwidth capability, optimizing system operation by instructing sources to output only resolutions and formats that the wiring can reliably handle.

QuickSwitch HD Technology

Crestron QuickSwitch HD technology minimizes the switching latency that plagues typical HDMI switchers. As the move to digital takes hold, more and more movie studios and television service providers are using HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and broadcast signals against unauthorized copying. Viewing the HDCP encrypted content in its full high-definition format requires a source device to “authenticate” each display and signal processor in the system through an HDMI connection before delivering an output signal. Normally the authentication process occurs every time any HDMI signal is switched, causing a complete loss of signal for up to 15 seconds whenever a new source or display is selected anywhere in the system.

QuickSwitch HD technology achieves very fast switching of HDMI signals by maintaining a constant HDCP connection with each HDMI device in the system, eliminating the need to re-authenticate each time a different source is selected.

HDCP Key Management

Another aspect to HDCP is its use of “keys” to manage the handshaking that occurs between any two devices. Every HDMI source device has a limit to how many downstream devices it can support, determined by the number of HDCP keys it has available. Rarely is that limit advertised or specified by the manufacturer or service provider, so connect too many displays or processors and the source will simply stop outputting a signal without warning.

To prevent such surprises, DM switchers test the HDCP limits of each HDMI source, allowing the installer to configure the system around any limitations, or substitute a different component.

CEC Embedded Device Control

The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the control system, the DM switcher provides a gateway for controlling many devices right through their HDMI connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes. Through proper CEC signal management, DigitalMedia allows you to take control of each device as you like.

Easy Setup

Via the front panel or using Crestron Toolbox™ software, every step of the DM switcher's setup process is designed to be quick and easy, configuring inputs and outputs automatically while letting the installer make intelligent design decisions along the way. The switcher tests and measures the length of each DM cable, automatically making the appropriate calibrations for optimal signal transmission to every room. With DigitalMedia, an entire switcher system can be commissioned in as little as 15 minutes.

Setup

DigitalMedia Wiring

Connections between DigitalMedia Switchers and DigitalMedia Room Controllers can be made using a variety of wiring solutions. For optimum performance, Crestron recommends Crestron DigitalMedia cable or CresFiber.

When wiring the DigitalMedia network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
  • Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).

For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control ^® Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is available for download from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).

DigitalMedia Cable

The Crestron DigitalMedia cable contains two CAT5E cables (one shielded, one unshielded) and one DMNet cable in triamese jackets. Installation of any DigitalMedia device is as simple as connecting DigitalMedia cable from the output of the DigitalMedia switcher to the input of a DigitalMedia device such as a DM-RMC-100 DigitalMedia Room Controller. For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789), which is available for download from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/digitalmedia).

The following pinouts are given for DigitalMedia cable:

G	GND	DC Ground	Black

NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2" (8-12 mm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires.

The maximum transmission distances between repeaters are determined by the video resolution sent over the wires. The total distance that video can be sent using repeaters is shown in the following table for DigitalMedia cable. While up to three repeaters may be used to extend the transmission distance, the aggregate length of a cable run must not exceed 450 feet (137.1 meters) when using DigitalMedia cable. The following table shows the maximum cable lengths allowed between repeaters when using DigitalMedia cable.

1080p60 Deep Color	100 ft (30 m)	300 ft (91 m)

NOTE: 1080p60 is the most common resolution used in residential installations.

NOTE: Deep color is part of the HDMI specification. It allows devices to transmit video using 36 bits per pixel instead of 24 bits per pixel. The color depth allows for 4096 shades each of red, green, and blue (instead of 256). Due to bandwidth requirements and limited support, deep color is not often used.

Up to two repeaters can be used to extend the transmission distance between the DM switcher and the Room Controller. The following diagram illustrates the maximum hop length between switcher/room controller and repeaters and maximum aggregate cable length.

CresFiber

CresFiber provides for longer distances between the DigitalMedia switcher and a DigitalMedia Room Controller without the use of repeaters or sacrifice in video resolution. For more information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789), which is available for download from the Crestron website.

HDCP Signal Path

Sources using HDCP limit the number of display devices it can transmit to while simultaneously limiting the depth of devices in the signal path. Too many devices or

greater-than-allowed depth in a signal path (from source to display) may create problems with displaying of audio and video content. The HDCP specification states that the maximum depth of devices between source and display is six. Some examples are shown in the following diagram.

Ethernet Setup

DigitalMedia switchers are designed to control the Ethernet settings of lightweight DM devices around them in order to reduce the amount of IP configuration necessary and make the certain DM devices swappable without reconfiguration.

IP Configuration

DigitalMedia switchers have the ability to operate in DHCP or Static IP address mode. In addition, DM switchers control the IP addressing information for input cards that have Ethernet capabilities as well as neighboring DigitalMedia devices. When the DM switcher is set to DHCP mode, these cards and DM devices will also be set to DHCP mode. When the DM switcher is set into Static IP mode, these cards and DM devices will receive a Static IP configuration equivalent to the DM switcher's IP address plus their slot number. This configuration is sent when the DM switcher starts up.

Example:

A DM-MD8X8 is set to IP address 192.168.1.30. The IP mask is 255.255.255.0 and the default router is 192.168.1.1. The HDMI input card on slot 3 would be set to IP address 192.168.1.33 and receive the same IP mask and default router as the DM switcher.

Since there can be up to 64 slots in the DigitalMedia switcher, the last octet in the DM switcher IP address may not be set higher than 222 (DM-MD8x8 and DM-MD16X16) or 190 (DM-MD32X32). Otherwise not all devices will receive a valid IP address.

DigitalMedia devices that send this IP configuration are the DM-MD8X8, DM-MD16X16, and the DM-MD32X32.

DigitalMedia devices that receive this IP configuration are the DMC-HD, DMC-HD-DSP, DMC-DVI, DM-RMC-100, DM-RMC-100-F, DM-TX-100, and DM-TX-200.

If two DigitalMedia switchers were connected to one another via a DMC-CATO output and DMC-CAT input card, each switcher would maintain control over its own IP configuration.

IP Table Setup

DigitalMedia devices that receive their IP address configuration via the switcher can also receive their IP table configuration from the DM switcher.

Identity Code

The IP ID can be set from the front panel using Installer Tools or in the DM switcher's IP table using Crestron Toolbox. For information on using Installer Tools to set the IP ID, refer to "Control System IP ID" on page 48. For information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs of multiple DM switchers in the same system must be unique.

When setting the IP ID, consider the following:

• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the Crestron Studio™ or SIMPL Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a unique IP ID.

Installation

Ventilation

The DM switcher should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances.

To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using forced air ventilation and/or increasing the spacing between units to reduce overheating. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.

Rack Mounting

A DM switcher can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two "ears" are provided with the switcher so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

NOTE: The DM-MD32X32 has rack ears molded into the chassis. They cannot be removed.

NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the unit.

NOTE: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

To install the ears:

1. There are screws that secure each side of the DM switcher's top cover. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove three screws from one side of the unit as shown in the diagram of step 3.
2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated by the screws in step 1.
3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the following diagram.

Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting (DM-MD8X8 shown)

1. Repeat procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach the remaining ear to the opposite side.

Stacking

Four "feet" are provided with the DM-MD8X8, DM-MD16X16 and the DM-MD32X32 so that if the units are not rack mounted, the rubber feet can provide stability when the units are placed on a flat surface or stacked. These feet should be attached near the corners prior to the hookup procedure.

NOTE: No more than two DM switchers should be stacked.

Hardware Hookup

Connect the Device

Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that follows this paragraph. For details on making connections to installed DM input cards and DM output cards, refer to "Appendix A: Hardware Hookup for DM Cards" on page 70.

NOTE: When using fiber, it is recommended that you have at least two spare fibers for each location. DM fiber components use SC multimode connectors.

DMNet Power

Devices connected to each DMNet port can receive power from the DM switcher's internal power supply or from an external power supply such as the C2N-SPWS300.

The DMNet ports are preconfigured for operation using the DM switcher's internal power supply.

To power a DMNet port externally from a Cresnet 24 VDC power supply, connect the power supply to the E (External) and G (Ground) pins on the EIG connector as shown in the following diagram.

Providing DMNet Power Externally

To power a DMNet port using the DM switcher's internal power supply, install a jumper on the EIG connector from the E (External) pin to the I (Internal) pin as shown in the following diagram.

Providing DMNet Power Internally

Label the Buttons

EDID

EDID is a piece of data that HDMI receivers use to indicate their capabilities to the HDMI sources.

The DM switcher routes DigitalMedia (DM) signals from any of the input cards to one or more of the output channels. According to the HDMI standard, HDMI sources are expected to only deliver audio and video formats that are supported by the destination. To do this, the DM switcher reads the EDID information from devices connected to the outputs and determines the video resolutions and audio format to send to the input cards to program EDID on the input card receivers.

Using Crestron Toolbox, the DM switcher can be configured to use several different algorithms to determine what EDID information is sent to each source:

- Copy Display

Copy Display

COMBINED

1920x1080p 60 Hz
1920x1080p 50 Hz
1920x1080p 24 Hz
1920x1080i 30 Hz
1920x1080i 25 Hz
1280x720p 60 Hz
1280x720p 50 Hz
720x576p 50 Hz
720x480p 60 Hz

The EDID information from a DigitalMedia or HDMI output is copied to the input verbatim. This means that all resolution, audio and vendor information will be from that display.

- Best Common

Best Common

Only resolutions that are available in all of the displays that are connected will be transmitted to the source. This ensures that any video signal coming in from the source will be able to be shown on all displays. If certain resolutions are only available on a subset of the displays, they will be omitted.

- Manual

Use Crestron Toolbox to select which resolutions are transmitted to the source.

"Best Common" is initially set to use information from all displays, but can be modified to use information from just a subset of displays by deselecting them in Crestron Toolbox.

By managing which displays are used for the EDID calculations, you can maximize the resolution of each source while ensuring that the source can be shown on each display where it is needed.

The EDID calculations also affect audio formats. Each HDMI receiver sends its supported audio formats to the source in the following format:

For example, a 5.1 channel audio processor may have the following audio EDID information:

• Linear PCM, 2ch, 32/44.1/48kHz
• AC3, 6ch, 32/44.1/48kHz

Uploading and Upgrading

Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DM switcher; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.

USB

NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.

USB Communication

graph LR
    A["PC Running Crestron Toolbox"] <-->|USB| B["DM Switcher"]

The COMPUTER port on the DM switcher connects to the USB port on the PC via the included Type A to Type B USB cable.

1. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are connected, identify the DM switcher by entering "DM-MD8X8", "DM-MD16X16", or "DM-MD32X32" in the Model textbox, the unit is serial number in the Serial textbox or the unit is hostname in the Hostname textbox. The hostname can be found in the "System Info" window in the section marked Ethernet however, communications must be established in order to see this information in the "System Info" window.
2. Display the DM switcher's "System Info" window (click the icon); communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.

The DMC-HD-DSP is recommended for use with Blu-ray Disc players and other HD sources that output multi-channel surround sound audio via HDMI, allowing the multi-channel signal to reach the surround sound system without requiring any decoding, while also providing a 2-channel down-mix to feed a stereo zone or audio distribution system.

Additional connections on the card include an HDMI loop back output, a stereo analog audio loop back output, and a USB HID port. The HDMI output passes the input signal through to feed a local device, or to feed a second DM switcher for output expansion purposes. The analog audio output breaks out the stereo audio signal from the HDMI input and passes it through to feed a CNX-PAD8A, AAE, or other multi-room audio distribution system.

The USB HID port allows a remote mouse/keyboard connected at the display location, to control a centralized source device (i.e. computer, media server, etc.) at the equipment rack.

16:9	Sometimes expressed as 16 x 9 or 16 by 9 (known as 1.78:1 in the film world); the standard DTV wide-screen television screen size, or aspect ratio--16 arbitrary units wide by 9 arbitrary units high, as compared to a standard TV aspect ratio of 4:3. The phrase describes the shape of a TV set or program, not an actual inch measurement.
4:3	Standard "square" NTSC TV screen-size aspect ratio of 4 arbitrary units wide by 3 arbitrary units high; often expressed as 4x3 or 4 by 3. It was originally known as the Academy Ratio (as in Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the film industry organization that awards the Oscars) prior to 1954 and the introduction of wide-screen aspect-ratio film formats; also known in the film world as 1.33:1.
480i	480 interlaced; a form of standard-definition digital television (SDTV) that approximates the quality of analog television but not considered high-definition television (HDTV). Even though the native resolution of DVDs is 480p, they are viewed at 480i on an NTSC analog television.
480p	480 progressive; form of standard-definition digital television (SDTV) comparable to VGA computer displays but not considered high-definition television (HDTV), though 480p is discernibly cleaner and slightly sharper than analog television. The native resolution of DVD is 480p, but that resolution can be seen only if a DVD player outputs a progressive-scan signal and the DTV has progressive-scan or component-video inputs; it is also known as EDTV.
720p	720 progressive; one of two currently used formats designated as high-definition television in the ATSC DTV standard, this technology comprises 720 vertical pixels and 1,280 horizontal pixels. The p stands for progressive, as opposed to interlaced, scanning, which is used in the other accepted HDTV standard, known as 1080i. Contrary to myth, 720p is not inferior to 1080i; 720p has fewer lines but also has the advantages of progressive scanning and a constant vertical resolution of 720 lines, making it better able to handle motion.
Anamorphic	Adopted from the film technique of shooting a wide-screen image on a square 35mm frame, it is the process of compressing wide-screen images to fit into the squarer standard 4:3 television signal. The images are then expanded for viewing in their original format on a wide-screen display device. Wide-screen or letterboxed DVDs that are not anamorphic have less detail when projected on a wide-screen monitor. In other words, a non-anamorphic wide-screen DVD is designed to be shown letterboxed on a standard "square" TV but appears with a black box all around the image

when shown on a larger 16:9 widescreen TV. To fill a 16:9 screen, a non-anamorphic DVD has to be blown up, resulting in loss of resolution and detail. Conversely, a DVD that is anamorphic, enhanced for 16:9, or enhanced for wide-screen delivers 33 percent more resolution than regular letterboxed transfers, is designed to be shown on a 16:9 TV, and does not need to be blown up. When one of these DVDs is shown on a "square" TV, it is often subject to anamorphic down-conversion artifacts unless the TV has a vertical compression feature.

Anamorphic down-conversion

Processing present in all DVD players that converts the image from an anamorphic DVD for display on a regular 4:3 TV. In the initial setup of a DVD player is a choice between a 16:9 or a 4:3 TV; the 4:3 options engage this processing, which often introduces artifacts such as jaggies and undulations during pans.

Aspect ratio

The ratio of width to height in a video picture or other graphic image. Standard U.S. TV broadcasts and computer monitors feature a 4:3 aspect ratio; HDTV has a much wider 16:9 ratio.

Authentication

Authentication ensures that digital data transmissions are delivered to the intended receiver. Authentication also assures the receiver of the integrity of the message and its source (where or whom it came from). The simplest form of authentication requires a username and a password to gain access to a particular account. But authentication protocols can also be based on secret-key encryption, such as DES, or on public-key systems using digital signatures.

Component video

The elements that make up a video signal, consisting of luminance and two separate chrominance signals, expressed either as Y R-Y B-Y or Y P b P r .

Deep Color

A color depth standard associated with high-definition TVs and video gear that include HDMI connections. The deep color standard supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit color bit depths, up from 8-bit, which is the current standard for consumer video. DigitalMedia supports all but the 16-bit color depth. All earlier versions of HDMI supported just 8-bit color. (Because video is based on three primary colors, you'll sometimes see deep color described as 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit.) A higher color bit depth enables finer gradations between different shades of the same color for smoother gradients and reduced color banding. Deep color gives TVs the potential to display billions rather than millions of colors, but in order to see that improvement, the entire video production chain has to use it (camera, editing, format, player, display).

DisplayPort

A digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) that defines a new license-free, royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.

Down-convert

In DTV, the conversion from a higher-resolution input signal number to a lower one. For example, some DTV receivers can be set to down-convert an HDTV 1080i signal to a standard 480i signal that any TV can display.

DRM

Digital Rights Management; a secure technology that enables the copyright owner of a piece of intellectual property (such as a music, video, or text file) to specify what a user can do with it. Typically, this is used to offer downloads that can't be played or burned to CD without paying for a license.

DTV/Digital television

Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition television (HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV).

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

A digital interface specification created by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group. This universal standard for connecting flat-panel monitors is also used for data projectors, plasma displays, and digital TVs. Using a DVI connector and port, a digital signal sent to an analog device is converted into an analog signal (if the device is digital, such as a flat-panel monitor, no conversion is necessary). There are three different DVI configurations: DVI-A for analog signals, DVI-D for digital signals, and DVI-I (integrated) for both analog and digital signals.

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data).

The information transmitted from a display to a source announcing its resolution capabilities.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

USB-like digital video connectivity standard designed as a successor to DVI; can transmit both digital audio and video signals; incorporates HDCP digital copy protection.

Interlaced scanning

Scan method used by the majority of televisions and the 1080i HDTV format. As opposed to progressive scanning in which the CRT's electron beam scans or "paints" all lines at once, interlaced scanning TVs paint odd-numbered lines in succession, then go back and fill in the remaining even-numbered lines. This method is more prone to artifacts and less stable than progressive.

KSV (Key Selection Vector)

A set of numbers transmitted between HDCP-protected sources and sinks (displays/receivers) during the authentication “handshake” to validate that the devices are authorized to receive the content. Some HDMI sources have limited buffer space to hold KSVs and as such, can only be routed to a few HDMI devices before their buffer overflows and content playback stops.

Progressive scan

A method of displaying images on a CRT monitor or a high-definition TV in which all the lines of a picture are drawn in one quick burst, from left to right and from top to bottom. Compare this to interlacing, in which every other line is displayed in two successive swoops to form a complete picture.

SDTV

Standard-definition television. Digital television format that includes 480-line resolution in both interlaced (480i) and progressively scanned (480p) formats; offers discernible improvement over conventional analog NTSC picture resolution, with less noise; similar to DVD or satellite TV quality but not considered high-definition television (HDTV).

Wide-screen

Image with an aspect ratio greater than 1.33:1 or a picture wider and narrower than a standard television image. Typically refers to TVs in the 16:9 aspect ratio.

YP_bP_r

Luminance, two chrominance channels of blue minus luminance, red minus luminance. This technical shorthand for component video is also written as Y C b C r or Y R-Y B-Y.

GNU General Public License

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document but changing it is not allowed.

PREAMBLE

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they too receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program" below refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License and its terms do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

1. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

1. You may not copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

2. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by

modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

1. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

2. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

1. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

2. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

1. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

1. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

2. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
