What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via
HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source(PC,DVD.etc)and a display
device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being
made.
