Standard Definition Analog Outputs Sample Clauses
The 'Standard Definition Analog Outputs' clause defines the technical specifications and requirements for analog output signals in a system or device. It typically outlines the expected voltage or current ranges, signal accuracy, and interface standards that must be met for analog outputs to function correctly. For example, it may specify that analog outputs should provide a 0-10V or 4-20mA signal to ensure compatibility with other equipment. The core purpose of this clause is to ensure interoperability and reliable communication between devices by standardizing how analog outputs are implemented and interpreted.
Standard Definition Analog Outputs. Subject to the requirement of Section 3.4, a Licensed Product shall not pass, or direct to be passed, Decrypted SVR Data to an NTSC, YUV, SECAM, PAL or consumer RGB format analog output (including an S-video output for the listed formats) unless (a) such Decrypted SVR Data is labeled as other than “No More Copies”, “Copy Never” or “Copy One Generation” or (b) such Licensed Product is incorporated into a Computer Product and the output is either a VGA output or a similar output that was widely implemented as of May 1, 2001 that carries uncompressed video signals with a resolution less than or equal to a Constrained Image or (c) such Licensed Product generates copy control signals according to the information provided in such Decrypted SVR Data using the technologies set forth in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.4:
3.1.1 For NTSC (525/60i systems) interlace scan analog video signal outputs, the specifications for (i) the Automatic Gain Control and Colorstripe copy control systems and (ii) generation of CGMS-A, provided that all of such technologies must be utilized in order to meet this requirement.
3.1.2 For PAL, SECAM (625/50i systems) or YUV (525/60i or 625/50i systems) interlace scan analog video signal outputs, the appropriate specifications for (i) the Automatic Gain Control copy control system and (ii) generation of CGMS-A, provided that both of these technologies must be utilized in order to meet this requirement.
3.1.3 For YUV (525/60p or 625/50p systems) progressive scan analog video signal outputs, the appropriate specifications for (i) the Automatic Gain Control copy control system and (ii) generation of CGMS-A, provided that all of such technologies must be utilized in order to meet this requirement.
Standard Definition Analog Outputs. A Licensed Product shall not output Controlled Content, or pass Controlled Content to any output, in Standard Definition Analog Form except as provided in Sections 2.2.1 or 2.2.2:
2.2.1. In any transmission through an NTSC RF, Composite, Y,R-Y,B-Y, or RGB format analog output (including an S-video output and including transmissions to any internal copying, recording or storage device) of a signal including Controlled Content, Licensed Products shall generate copy control signals in response to the instructions provided in the APS bits of the Copy Control Instruction message for Controlled Content, if any, (i.e., trigger bits for Automatic Gain Control and Colorstripe copy control systems, as referenced below) and in accordance with the FCC IDCR Product Regulations. The technologies that satisfy this condition and are authorized hereunder are limited to the following:
(1) For NTSC analog outputs (including RF, Composite or S-Video), the specifications for the Automatic Gain Control and Colorstripe copy control systems (contained in the document entitled “Specifications of the Macrovision Copy Protection Process for STB/IRD Products” Revision 7.1.S1, October 1, 1999);
(2) For 480i (interlace scan) Y,Pb,Pr or Y, R-Y, B-Y outputs, the appropriate specifications for the Automatic Gain Control copy control system, as identified in the FCC IDCR Product Regulations;
(3) For 480p progressive scan outputs, the appropriate specification for the Automatic Gain Control copy control system, as identified in the FCC IDCR Product Regulations.
(4) All Licensed Products shall also, on any Standard Definition analog outputs, generate CGMS-A signals in response to such trigger bits in Controlled Content, and pass through CGMS-A signaling; but shall not be required to respect CGMS-A as an input to its own functions unless so required by appropriate legislation or regulation.
2.2.2. A License Product may output Controlled Content, or pass Controlled Content through a VGA output to a monitor, in Standard Definition Analog Form.
