What is High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)?

    High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a copy-protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of capturing digital content from the source to the display. It is designed to protect digital signals when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).

    NOTE: HDCP is currently not a standard used in computer monitors.
