3.1 About HDCP

The Hi

gh-Bandwidth Digital C ont ent Protection (HDCP) standard

3

, protects
digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI conn ections
between two HDCP-enabled devi ces to eliminate the reproduction of
copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios)
from having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides
for the secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.

3.2 Recommendations for Best Performance

To ac

hieve the best performance:

• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

PT-101HDCP away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

.

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
