[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 15160, member: 114"] Re: Small venue video distribution That sounds like the 'analog sunset' issue, for which the intent is to prevent high definition copying of the content. Apparently the Blu-Ray standard requires that all Blu-Ray players sold after 12/31/2010 restrict the analog output of the players with AACS protected content to 480i/576i SD resolution. And that players manufactured after 12/31/2013 disable the analog outputs with such content. So the standard is limited to AACS encrypted content, which is primarily commercial releases, and the limitations would be enabled by a flag in the content. However, the standards also do not prohibit manufacturers from including such limitations prior to those dates or for all content. They also do not say that this approach is limited to Blu-Ray players. At first there was apparently some discussion that the same technology would be incorporated into cable and satellite boxes, but that ran into a problem for cable providers as they are required by Federal law to be able to provide an SD resolution signal. However, that does not necessarily mean they have to support component outputs and they could limit the devices to composite video or RF outputs. There are ways to address a centralized system with multiple video formats both in and out, including those with HDCP, but these solutions are rather expensive. Is there a budget goal for this?
