How does TVP5151 support Macrovision?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP5151

Hi there,

What is implied when the datasheet says that "The TVP5151 decoder detects copy-protected input signals according to the Macrovision™ standard"?  What are the implications?  For example if a DVD output is fed into the TVP5151, and the TVP5151 detects Macrovision, what is the result?  What does the TVP5151 do with the MAcrovision copy protected video?  Does it send it through scrambled, or simply pass it through?

Thanks

Todd
