We wanted to use a Blu Ray player to put moving graphics on monitors on the front of a desk type set. Because we will also want to put other things into these monitors, they need to be feed by our HD-SDI router. So we tried to use an AJA HDMI to HD-SDI converter to convert the HDMI output of the Blu Ray player o HD-SDI. Even though I put a DVD recorded on a stand alone DVD recorder, with color bars on it (no copy guard on the disc), into the player, the HDMI output still required HDCP handshaking, and would not output anything out of the HDMI port. If I pluged the HDMI output into a TV that has HDCP, it worked just fine. I also tried an upscaled DVD player. It would give me a picture for 2 seconds, untill the player relized it was not getting HDCP handshaking. I called AJA, and they told me that HDMI and HDCP are not sensentive to the disc being played, and the AJA converter is NOT HDCP complyment. The public gets SCREWED AGAIN!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Use the component outputs and convert that to HDSDI. Steve  |  IP: Logged
