The major features of the DCS-100 system are listed below:

• The system provides true seamless switching between all inputs and up to three

stored full-screen logos.

• The system supports input and output resolutions up to UXGA, including all HD

resolutions up to 1080p, eliminating the need to create custom output formats.
NTSC and PAL are supported as inputs only.

Note

• Supports DVI, analog computer and video formats on the DVI-I inputs.
~ HDCP protocol is supported, and the DCS-100 is considered an HDCP

repeater in this configuration. Incoming encrypte d data is encrypted

going out, and all analog outputs, plus the freeze and LOGO store
functions are disabled when the DCS-100 processes HDCP content.
Refer to the “A Word About HDCP” section on page 18 for more details.

~ 1080i RGB input is supported on the DVI digital input.

• The following scaling and de-interlacing features are provided:
~ 10-bit scaling
~ 10-bit 4:2:2 de-interlacer with diagonal filter
~ 165MHz maximum pixel rate
~ Low video delay: Interlaced sources, 3 fields (max)

• Stores and recalls up to three full screen logos. When a logo is on Program, it

appears visually on top of all other sources, including inputs with keys.

• An Auto Take feature (in the User Preference Menu) supports transitioning from

one input source to another without pressing TAKE.

• Provides the ability to luminance key unscaled DVI sources. Please note:
~ Keys are set up from the Key Menu. The front panel KEY button is used

to enable or disable the key transition.

~ Key transitions are performed at the same rate as the full screen source

transitions.

~ If the key source resolution is greater than the output resolution, the

DCS-100 only displays an area equal to the output resolution. This area
is selectable using the menu.

~ If the key source resolution is less than the output resolution, the key is

centered on screen, and can be moved within the screen boundaries.

• Provides the ability to “auto acquire” input sources. The system monitors inputs at

all times, and if a timing change occurs, the system automatically reacquires and
displays the source — once the timing has been measured.

• Offers simple and intuitive menus:
~ Presentations can be switched without accessing any setup menus.
~ Two front-panel lockout modes enable you to lock out menu access,

either completely or partially.

• Provides an integrated test pattern generator.

• Offers an HD/SD SDI input as standard.

• Provides a built-in web-based GUI, which enables you to perform all setup and

transition functions, just like the front panel.

About the DCS-100

^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=ea`m

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, an industry-wide copy
protection scheme that is used to prevent the potential interception of digital data between
the source (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the target display (e.g., an HDCP compliant display
or monitor). The HDCP format was designed by Intel
key exchange” procedure to accomplish the required protection. For proper
implementation, products that are compatible with the HDCP format require a secure
connection to a compliant display, such as a projector or monitor.

In applications in which a DCS-100 is used, when an HDCP compliant device is connected
to the DCS-100, an HDCP “session” is created. In this session (which is transparent to the
user), “keys” are exchanged between the source device (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the
HDCP compliant display.

The source device queries the display to ensure that the equipment is HDCP compliant
before video is shown. Non-HDCP equipment such as PCs will work with any DVI
compliant display, but HDCP compliant equipment only shows “protected” content on
HDCP compliant displays.

Please note the following important points:

®

, and it uses an “authentication and

• When an HDCP compliant device is connected to the DCS-100 and that specific

input is selected, the Status Menu indicates if HDCP is enabled.

• If the “session” determines that the target display device is non-HDCP compliant

(e.g., if the user is attempting to make an illegal copy on an external recorder), an
error message appears on the DCS-100’s Status Menu , indicating that video
cannot be shown.

• HDCP compliant repeaters cannot be connected to the output of the DCS-100, as

the DCS-100 must be the last device in the HDCP "chain" — prior to the HDCP
compliant display. If an HDCP repeater is connected, the message “HDCP
Violation” appears on the Status Menu. In Chapter 4, refer to the “Status Menu
section on page 46 for additional details.
