PS Is BKSV stored in EDID address space? must be... EDID and HDCP stuff are separate, although they are accessed over the same I2C style bus. (DDC) That's what I thought. |

Thanks for helping with this. 1. & 2. No adapters, Native HDMI connection from Sapphire HD4830 512M GDDR3 PCI-E HDMI/DVI-I/VGA pn:288-4E104-301SA 3. Input 2 - HDMI 1 - Toshiba HDDVD A3 Input 3 - HDMI 2 - HTPC Input 4 - HDMI 3 - OTA tuner Inputs 2 and 4 have video and audio from their inputs, moved HTPC to those inputs. Also tried cable that connects HTPC direct to the Panasonic TY-FB7HM - HDMI card, UMC-1 is on second TY-FB7HM card. Also swapped between the two FB7HM cards to the UMC-1. Passthrough is set on source, Where is the Global Passthrough setting? 4. Windows 7 is set for 1280x720 Default monitor. Windows 7 auto adjusts to 1366x768 and recognizes the monitor to be a Panasonic TH-50PHD8UK when direct connected. I am trying to connect my HTPC to the UMC-1 instead of direct to the monitor. The HTPC's video card is an ATI HD4830 with HDMI port. At no time does the HTPC recognize that their a monitor attached when hooked through the UMC-1. When the HTPC is hook direct to my 8UK series Panasonic, the HTPC recognizes that it is a 1366x768 Panasonic. The process I've been trying is to first turn on the Panasonic 8UK plasma, then the UMC-1, the power on the HTPC. I have also tried the 8UK first then the HTPC then the UMC-1. And the UMC-1 first then the 8UK then the HTPC. And every other sort of combination. Is there a setting I'm missing to allow the particular UMC-1 HDMI port that I hook the HTPC to have a constant identifier to sent to the HTPC that it's on an is a monitor, specific resolution, etc? #1 Are you using the DVI to HDMI dongle that ATI included? You can't use a generic one as it's pinned out different and there is some electronics in the boxed ATI dongle unit. #2 Are you using port #1 on the back of the video card? It's the only one that supports HDMI. It's labeled on the backplate. #3 Sure your mapping/assigning the HDMI input # on the back of the UMC-1 to correct input "label". Set global to passthrough to start on UMC-1 and also passthrough for it's source option. #4 Is the computers current display set to a STANDARD spec rez and not some strange overscan resolution you made for your panasonic? If so set it to 720p 1280 x 720 to start before plugging it in to UMC-1 #5 I wish I had a unit in house so I could help guide you all better! |

I thought one of the cool perks with the UMC-1 was that it saved the info from your equipment and that the HDMI handshake was very quick compared to others. Did this feature get dropped or something? The original prototypes did but that is no longer allowed. In fact each piece of gear has to constantly ping all the other gear to make sure it wasn't disconnected and something else connected after startup. So saving the EDID is no longer allowed. Insanity - considering it is so easy to just rip source material, this is such a total waste of people's time - both the engineers and the end users.  As usually, the only folks that "lose" with all this DRM rubbish are the end users doing things legally. :-( /rant |

There used to be a "force detection of TV (or display)" or some such option in the ATI control panel, maybe have a look in there and "demand" that it sends something out?  Do you also have the latest Catalyst driver pack 10.1? |
