    PDS accepts analog, DVI, and HD-SDI input sources and converts them to a wide variety of output formats. Output video is provided on analog and DVI connectors simultaneously. PDS also allows you to capture and store up to three images to be used as full-screen logos during the presentation.
  • Page 18 When an HDCP-compliant display is connected to the PDS, 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.
