SPLITMUX-DVI-4RT: How can I make the outputs HDCP free?

The HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) consortium law stands to prevent the interception of digital data between the source and display. As a result, any source that is HDCP compliant requires a HDCP compliant display in order to complete the transmission. It is forbidden to transmit copy protected signals (HDCP encrypted/encoded) without the encryption.

With the SPLITMUX-DVI-4RT, if the input is HDCP free, such as a standard computer video signal, the output will be HDCP free. If the input is HDCP encoded, such as a blue-ray player that plays a copy protected movie, then the output will be HDCP encoded as well, and will need a HDCP compliant display to work. HDCP cannot be disabled on the output if the input is HDCP encoded due to the restrictions of the HDCP copy protection.
