Status

1

EDID lock

Off (up) – EDID parameters are passed-through.

This setup is enabled after unlocking and relocking the EDID by setting DIP-switch 1 to On (EDID
locked).

4

HDCP operation

Off (up) – Passes HDCP.
In this state, if the sink supports HDCP, the input declares HDCP support. It will then handle HDCP on

the output and input actively. If the sink does not support HDCP then the input will declare HDCP is not
