QuickSwitch HD™ HDMI Switchers Crestron HD-MD8X1/2
HDCP Signal Path
Sources using HDCP limit the number of display devices it can transmit to while
simultaneously limiting the depth of devices in the signal path. Too many devices or
greater-than-allowed depth in a signal path (from source to display) may create
problems with displaying of audio and video content. The HDCP specification states
that the maximum depth of devices between source and display is six. Some
examples are shown in the following diagram.
