DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a new connection scheme which keeps the signal from your DVI equipped Set Top Box (Cable or Satelite Box) , computer, or PVR completely digital. DVI HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a content copy protection encryption scheme used with DVI to prevent unauthorized copying and redistribution of digitally perfect content. Original content via computer display cards or game consoles, and video from standard definition DVD players will not likely be content protected. CS-1 has standard DVI In and Out, and CS-2 has Standard DVI/HDCP support. Computers with DVI graphics cards have been on the market for some time, and several manufactures have announced products that will have DVI HDCP. CS-2 is future-proof since it will accept both DVI content from computers and DVI HDCP content from set top boxes.
