10.1 HDCP 10. APPLICATIONS NOTE AND TIPS 10.1 HDCP HDCP is a content protection mechanism which uses encrpytion to prevent high value content from being delivered to non-authorized devices. For example, Blu-ray players use HDCP on their HDMI outputs to ensure that the HDMI output cannot be routed to a digital recording device. The Saphyr is fully HDCP compliant, meaning that you will be able to use the Saphyr to accept HDCP protected sources and route them to any HDCP protected outputs.
