2.15 AV Technologies and Equipment Requirements
2.15.1 HDMI
RMIT has adopted HDMI as the base standard for all digital signals for all installation. All new installations must
conform to the current HDMI standard. The following devices as a minimum will be provided with or require a
HDMI interface:
a) University PC
b) Laptops
c) Document cameras
d) Blu-ray players
e) Video/data projectors
f) LCD panels
As a minimum standard HDMI 1.4 shall be applied, HDMI devices must comply with the following protocols and
standards unless project specific requirements are higher:
a) Hot Plug Detect
b) EDID
c) CEC
d) HDCP
2.15.2 HDCP and EDID
All source devices supplied to the University must support HDCP content and must provide sufficient HDCP
keys (KSV - Key Selection Vector) for correct system operation. All video switching equipment must provide
KSV caching and/or generate KSV for all displays. The AV Integrator must also ensure that all switching
solutions support both EDID and scaling outputs to suit the system design and the resolutions required there in.
The AV Integrator must ensure the number of HDCP keys provided will accommodated all displays connected
to the system.
The EDID and HDCP function must also be capable of being switched off so that devices (in particular MAC
laptops) can be forced to transmit non-encrypted content without HDCP protection.
2.15.3 VGA
VGA connectivity will be offered for legacy laptop support only.
