How Does HDCP Work?

Ғылым және технология

HDCP is a copy-protection scheme used with HDMI and other connections. How does it work, and why has it given consumers so many problems?

    I love how he just casually shit on HDCP lol. I hate HDCP. It has literally prevented me from capturing my own content or fcked up presentations because some stupid computer or device couldn't "validate" or dock or whatever with some projector. What is ironic is that, a lot of stuff that should have HDCP like Netflix or Amazon prime TV on the Xbox doesn't and my capture card sees and captures it just fine but certain games will freak out my capture card every now and then. And years of backing up my DVD's and Blu-rays has just shown me how crappy DRM is.

Instead of just, y'know, ripping the digital file directly from the source.

My cable box even prevented me from recording a rented movie to my dvd recorder, saying "Cant record copy protected content" when i pressed the record button on the dvd, connected via SCART, the older, fatter and analog brother of HDMI. But that was easy to bypass. 2 adapters and 6 wire cable, and i was able to record it.

    What if you just bit-for-bit clone the encrypted media? It'd be impossible for any receiver device to tell the difference. Similarly, what if the decryption chip in even a single receiver device gets dumped and shared online? The entire premise of HDCP seems fundamentally flawed but it's somehow a serious thing made by very serious people at Intel and it really exists so I'm confused.

Before iOS 11 was released I was able to use iPhone and my Netflix account to download Netflix shows onto my phone - then screen mirror thru AppleTV to project the show onto my television's bigger screen. With the first iOS 11 download that stopped. Now.. it all works the same except the last step. Meaning- I can see Netflix account mirrored from iPhone onto the tv while I am selecting my downloaded show.. but the minute I hit play on the show my TV screen goes black.

    my ps3 and much newer tv had a problem with the handshake protocol and simply wouldnt work until i got another cable. i tried several but the one that finally ended up working also happened to be the cheapest piece of crap cable i could find.

    Pretty stupid. Causes more issues than solutions. Actually still not a solution, since there are almost always multiple sources of content (dvd and stuff). Companies need to face the fact that there will always be pirates. Any protcol or anything protection they make will eventually be broken, (I've seen cases where software was cracked and out before the official release). If there is a new protection method it may hold for a year or 2 at the most like Denuvo, with that after one game was cracked after 6 months, games started getting cracked left and right. Maybe they have a slight increase in the amount of sales while the security isn't broken, but most people pirate anyways are more likely willing to wait.

    Azenix Roblox I pirate a lot of stuff but its mainly because I don't trust it properly. Like mafia 3 for example... otherwise I buy most of my games. I've also pirated The Grand Tour too as even though I have an amazon prime subscription the shitty DRM that covers all but one of my monitors is just annoying and its genuinely easier to torrent it, hell you can even watch as it downloads. Pirates would never have bought it to begin with.

    HDCP is meant to protect digital content from unauthorized devices as well as Man-in-the-Middle attacks. However, it is also flawed as there are videos and tutorials as to how to bypass HDCP.

    Is it common to have issues with HDCP, when it comes to 'regular usage'? I use HDMI with lots of different devices & TVs & I don't think I've had to deal with any HDCP errors. I'm currently using HDMI with 4 TVs (2008*, 2009, 2018 & 2019) & a monitor, & I'm using about 4 cables, each of a different model (probably at least 1's over a decade old). The date range of the devices I use span at least 2009-2019. So, maybe the handshake errors come with more specific use, &/or are not very common? * -ish

    UNRELATED QUESTION: Can someone tell me if either the ports, or the cable itself is the thing that has to be up to standards? For example, say a video card (cause that's the most popular output device I can think of) comes with a DisplayPort 1.4 output, and you have a monitor with a DisplayPort 1.4 input, do you need a DisplayPort 1.4 cable as well to take advangtage of the full bandwidth? Or are all DisplayPort cables the same? (in regards to how much data they can carry) Thanks for any help!!

    Wow, Techquickie seems to have totally missed the point. HDCP being a lousy software protection protocol, isn't at all important to the manufacturers. The fact that they can change it on you and make you buy everything (all from the one supplier to guarantee compatibility won't be an issue) is what it's all about. They don't even have to change anything. Imagine your system was working fine, but your old TV gets stolen or is irreparably damaged. New devices will have a new HDCP standard. You have to replace not just the TV, but EVERYTHING! Phones, cables, xbox PlayStation, everything! In order to get your system going again. This has nothing to do with copyright protection. It's corporate greed trying to force you into a very expensive way of dealing with them. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are these days: Apple admitted updates slowed old iPhones when the new model came out. This should have bankrupted apple years ago. That's what would have happened when I was a child. Not any more, people just accept this crap. So expect to see a lot more things like the HDCP scam in other industries. Imagine if you took your new car in for a service that is required to maintain your new car warranty. A new model of that car is released, so they deliberately make your car run richer to reduce it's performance and fuel economy. Would you buy another car from that car maker? What about if they stuff up the wheel alignment so it pulls left all the time? Or any one of dozens of other irritating things they could do. It will happen the way things are going, because that is what is happening today in other industries. Stop rewarding bad behavior of businesses obviously trying to unscrupulousness scam you, don't buy from them before it becomes an accepted practice in that industry.
