Does the 42PD5200 DVI socket support HDCP (High Definition Digital Content Protection)?
Yes, it supports HDCP.
What is HDCP and why is it important to have?
HDCP stands for High Definition Digital Content Protection and was developed by Intel as a decoding/encoding method to prevent copying of protected material.
DVD players with DVI or HDMI outputs will be HDCP enabled and DVD?s shall also contain this encryption. If a HDCP protected DVD is played in a DVD player or TV without HDCP then no picture or sound will be produced.
Satellite broadcasters transmitting Hi-Definition material shall also utilise HDCP in their broadcasts to protect certain content.
