HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

The codification of HDCP is used with high-resolution signals with DVI and HDMI connections and recordings of D-VHS D-Theater to prevent unauthorized copying of material with intellectual property.

HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copy protection system for the new DVI and HDMI digital video interfaces. Smooth functioning of the DVI and HDMI interfaces for video data is only guaranteed if HDCP has been correctly implemented by the manufacturer in both connected devices.
