That's a good point on the 200, I'll get one of those on order for a test. Initializing 0d never came to mind, I'll give that a shot too.
Thanks.

So for the HAE-100 issue...
What happens if you momentarily break the route (e.g. switch to 0d) between changing sources.
E.g. HDCP Required MAC --> 0 --> Non HDCP PC
Also, I'm not sure what the cost delta is, but if all you need the HAE 100 for is audio deembedding, why not use a DM-RMC-200-C instead of the DM-RMC-SCALER-C + HAE100?
The only (potential) problem I see is that the RMC-200-C only does line-level outputs as unbalanced, but the cost/trouble savings in not having to deal with a 2nd piece of hardware and the related space/cabling may be worth it.

Subject: [Crestron] DM outputs to a production system, story and questions. :-)
We're having trouble with finding a reliable process to get the DM presentation outputs into our production systems to work reliable. Our current system design is below.
1) Presentation inputs into the DM matrix via DM plates, or, possibly via Extron plates to a DM-MD6x6.
2) DM-RMC-SCALER-C HDMI output into an Extron HAE 100 to de-embed the audio from the presentation source. (resolution scaled to 1080i/30, the native resolution of the broadcast system)
3) HDMI output of the HAE 100 to an AJA HA5 to covert to HD-SDI (this device is NOT HDCP compliant).
The problem we have is that when we switch HDCP encrypted content through the system, the HAE 100 outputs green screen like we would expect, since the HA5/production switcher is not HDCP compliant. But, the issue is that when non-HDCP content is then switched through the system the HAE 100 still does not allow the content through, it's still green screen. When you reboot the HAE 100 it works fine again, until HDCP content, IE a MAC computer, is attached to the system.
Another interesting twist is that when we use a Quantum Data HDMI/HDCP test instrument to generate the signal into the HAE 100 --> AJA HA5 --> HD Star, the HAE 100 functions perfectly. You enable/disable the HDCP key requirements on the Quantum Data generator and you see the HDCP indicator on the HAE 100 input display correctly, green screen on the output when unlit, and video pass-through when lit.
Out current solution is to make the entire DM system non-HDCP compliant, which really sucks, because every single device in these systems is compliant, except the production input.
The questions are:
1) Have any of you experienced this issue with the DM/SCALERC output into the HAE 100?
2) Do you have another solution that does the same thing design wise, but works properly?
3) Is there a way to change the way the digital output of an Apple PC to always be NON-HDCP compliant, this is really the biggest problem. I don't care if I can't play a BluRay on the second display output, but I should be able to see the damn desktop.
Thanks for looking. :)
