AMX MAX-AVP - Manual (Page 20)

Installation
14 MAX-AVP Audio-Video Player
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Because of limitations specific to HDMI video output, the HDMI-to-DVI conversion cable is not
suitable for viewing DVDs containing copyrighted content. This includes most commercial DVDs.
You can use the HDMI-to-DVI conversion cable to configure a MAX-AVP, but not to view
content played on the AVP.
To view content played on the AVP, connect the AVP to an actual HDMI display device. Refer
to the MAX-AVP documentation for instructions on using the AVP to playback media.
If playback of copyrighted content is attempted (via the conversion cable), the AVP may need
to be rebooted to re-initialize the HDMI signal.
Technical Explanation
HDCP ("High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection") is a form of digital rights management designed
to control digital A/V content as it travels across DVI or HDMI connections.
Standard HDMI (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) specifications require that the target
display device for an HDMI signal must provide HDCP protocol for copyrighted content. If the
connected display device does not provide valid HDCP handshaking, the HDMI signal will not be
displayed. Typically, HDMI-capable video monitors provide HDCP protocol, but most computer
monitors do not. This is the case with the LCD monitor included with the MDL200 kit.
