• Unknown – If the status indicator displays “Unknown“, the unit is detecting an invalid or
incompatible input signal. Possible reasons for this are:
1. The incoming signal is HDCP encrypted (see note below for an explanation of HDCP)
2. The incoming signal is an unsupported format, such as a computer resolution of 1024 x 768
3. The incoming signal is an unsupported refresh rate
Note: HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a content encryption system
for HDMI. It is meant to prevent copyright content from being copied. Protected content,
like a movie on a Blu-Ray disc is encrypted by its creator. Devices that want to display the
protected content, like a television, must have an authorized key in order to decode the
signal and display it. The entity that controls the HDCP standard strictly limits the kinds of
devices that are allowed decryption keys. Devices that decrypt the content and provide an
unencrypted copy are not allowed.
• No Input – If the status indicator displays “No Input”, the BrightEye is not detecting any input
signal. Check your cabling connections:
Note: In this situation none of the Input LEDs on the front panel will be illuminated, and the
Power LED will be illuminated.
