What is HDCP?
Overview
Developed by Intel Corporation, HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. This technology safeguards the integrity of audio and video content as it travels across various interfaces like GVIF, DVI, and HDMI.
Is HDCP Free?
No, HDCP is not free. An authorized license must be obtained from Digital Content Protection, an Intel subsidiary. This involves submitting an application and paying an annual fee. Once approved, the user agrees to the licensing terms and gains the rights to use HDCP.
Key Terms of Use
- Data Transmission: HDCP-protected content cannot be transmitted to unauthorized receivers; only HDCP-compliant devices can receive the content.
- Content Quality: For non-HDCP digital audio outputs, the quality is restricted to CD-audio or lower.
- Copy Prevention: Licensed operators must not use their equipment to duplicate content. They must also ensure original content creation adheres to current protection standards.
Devices Using HDCP
Many devices utilize HDCP, including:
- DVD Players: Especially those supporting high-definition components.
- Blu-Ray Discs: These often use an Image Constraint Token to control the output signal type.
HDCP Usage
Since 2004, HDCP has been widely adopted in the United States and globally. The European Industry Association for Information Systems mandates HDCP as essential for all HD-ready European devices. Microsoft’s Windows Vista integrates HDCP for graphics cards and monitors.
