2 EMI bits. The Encryption Mode Indicator (EMI) digital copy control bits affect the 

content- protection method for the DVI/HDMI port. The EMI bits mark encrypted digital content as one of
the following:



Do Not Copy



Copy Once





Macrovision circuit enabled (Automatic Gain Control Process On, 2 Line Split Burst On)



1 CIT bit. The Constrained Image Trigger (CIT) bit affects only the high-definition (HD) YPbPr

(component) analog output. The CIT bit determines how the HD YPbPr (component) analog output may
function:



Output at full HD resolution



Reduce effective resolution to less than 520,000 pixels (image constraint)



 3 reserved bits
