9.What is HDCP ?+
What is HDCP ?
Intel Corporation developed HDCP (High-bandwith Digital Content Protection): a form of digital copy protection, preventing copy of digital audio and video content while travelling across connections.
Types of connections contain DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and less popular/deprecated protocols including GVIF (Gigabit Video Interface) and UDI (Unified Display Interface).The system is designed to stop HDCP-encrypted content from playing on impermissible devices that have been altered to copy HDCP content. A transmitting device examines that the receiver is authorized to receive data before sending data. If so, the transmitter encrypts the data preventing the overhearing while it flows to the receiver.

13.What is DTS ?+
What is DTS ?
DTS, Inc. (initially Digital Theater Systems) is an American company that produces multichannel audio technologies for film and video.

The DTS product is used for surround sound formats in both consumer-grade and commercial/theatrical applications. Until 1995, it was known as The Digital Experience. DTS authorizes its technologies to consumer electronics suppliers.

14.What is PCM ?+
What is PCM ?
PCM (Pulse-code modulation) is an approach used to digitally define sampled analog signals. It is the common form of digital audio in compact discs, digital telephony, computers and other digital audio applications. The amplitude of the analog signal is tested consistently at uniform intervals in a PCM stream. Each sample is quantized to the closest value in a range of digital steps.
-
15.What is LPCM ?+
What is LPCM ?
LPCM (Linear pulse-code modulation) is a certain type of PCM where the quantization levels are linearly uniform. This is in comparison to PCM encodings where quantization levels differ as a function of amplitude (with the A-law algorithm or the μ-law algorithm). Although PCM is a more general term, it often describes data encoded as LPCM.

16.SDVoE+
SDVoE (Software Defined Video-over-Ethernet) is the latest high-performance, software-based AV-over-IP platform that controls and distributes audio visiual systems of a Ethernet/Fiber networks. With SDVoE, programmers, manufacturers and software engineers easily analyze customers' needs in order to build new and interesting applications.
Switching and distribution are commoditized by Ethernet as the AV industry inevitably transitions to IP-based solutions. How do AV manufacturers add value? Creating powerful endpoint processors and software applications are key. Endpoints that convert between AV signals (HDMI) and Ethernet contain processing engines that reformat and reconstruct audio and video signals as needed (scaling to a display; putting up a video wall; downmixing audio, etc.).
The software that creates user experiences by telling those endpoints what to do is the other area ripe for innovation.
SDVoE technology is the standardized interface between the endpoints and the software, providing the momentum to create new classes of applications.
SDVoE technology is:
The most widely adopted networked AV standard in the industry, delivering HDMI over Ethernet with zero latency
The only turnkey solution for zero-latency AV over IP available to AV equipment manufacturers
A full stack solution, clearly specifying an approach to every layer of the OSI network model, from the physical infrastructure to an application programming interface (API).
A comprehensive API that provides a simple interface to control complex tasks like video wall processing, image compositing, video routing, scaling, aspect ratio management, audio downmixing, and much more.
