Hello all,

I am using a Blu-Ray player with HDMI output and trying to connect that to total of three displays using combination of 4X4 GEFEN HDMI MATRIX and GEFEN HDMI TO HD-SDI SCLAER as shown in the attachment.

In my configuration, I have one 32" display that is HDCP compliant; however, the two HD-SDI displays (15") are not.

The problem is that I am only getting the video output on the 720p HDMI COMPLIANT display but not on the HD-SDI displays.

I do understand that my HD-SDI displays are not HDCP compliant; therefore, the problem will be there for the high-def content. However, what I find weired is that this problem is still there while playing non high-def (standard DVDs) using the Blu-Ray player.

Would you be able to tell me what I am doing wrong here?

I am not really sure whether my Blu-Ray player is enforcing the HDCP even for the standard content or not ??:confused:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Most equipment will shut off the video if you connect the HDMI port to anything that does not read back that it is HDCP compliant. Maybe I should restate that to say that all of the equipment that I am familiar with works this way. SDI converter boxes are not HDCP compliant, so they get turned off. Only way to get SDI into your monitor from copy protected content is to purchase a player that has been hacked with an SDI interface. C'est la vie.
