Will a monitor with dvi hdcp play ps3?
no
Which LCD monitor is better hdcp support or HDMI support?
The short answer is HDCP, because if it's HDCP compliant, more than likely it's going to have an HDMI interface already. If not, then it will be DVI, and you can get around this with $15 in cables from a web site.
What does HDCP mean as applied to computer monitor cables or connections?
HDCP is a method to encrypt the video and audio travelling on an AV cable (as for example the HDMI or DVI cable that connects your PC to the monitor or your Bluray player to your TV). This is done to prevent you from using the HDMI or DVI outputs of your computer (or bluray player), to copy the audio and video of a movie, by plugging the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of a recorder (yes, there are recorders with HDMI inputs, but they cannot record signals encrypted with HDCP). In plain english, HDCP prevents you from "lifting" the audio and video of an HD movie from the cable. The Hollywood studios mandate that both your playback device (aka computer or bluray player) and your monitor (aka PC monitor or TV) must support HDCP in order to be able to view Bluray-Movie content (and subscription HD satellite/cableTV channels too). On a practical level, any device with an HDMI plug supports HDCP*. But only some DVI devices support HDCP. If both your playback device and your monitor support HDCP, just forget about HDCP. If your are using a PC, just get a software Bluray player like WinDVD (sorry, no free ones exist) and start watching movies. If you are using a bluray player, just put the disc in and start watching, lol. If your playback device or monitor doesn't have HDCP, then the movie will either not play or play downscaled to standard definition (aka DVD quality). This is bad. One solution is to use a piece of software called AnyDVD HD that will convert a protected Bluray-Movie to an unprotected one like the ones you can make at home (it acts as an intemediate between the Bluray drive and the software player). HDCP is required only for protected Blurays, hence you have effectively dodged HDCP. Otherwise you can use the component output of your playback device, which mysteriously allows FullHD playback without HDCP (HDCP is not possible on component).
Why wont your blu ray with HDMI to dvi cable play on your dvi monitor?
HDMI and DVI are compatible connectors for video signals. There are two small but important differences.First, DVI does not carry audio whereas HDMI includes it as part of the interface.Second, and most important, is that HDMI supports HDCP, an encoding system to prevent signals being copied. To receive HDCP encoded signals, the display must be HDCP compliant (i.e. licensed to receive and decode the signals). DVI does not support HDCP and therefore a DVI monitor will see garbage rather than a good signal.For protection of the content, there are no licensed HDMI to DVI converters on the market. Furthermore, the few unlicensed converters are not guaranteed to operate. Indeed, the HDCP system provides for disabling HDCP receivers in the future if they are using unauthorized license keys. HDCP has been introduced in response to people pirating material. Sadly, it also prevents legitimate use of some content such as display on DVI monitors as this question demonstrates.
How do you change your HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a security protocol used to protect copyrighted content. You cannot change HDCP settings as they are controlled by the device and content providers to prevent unauthorized access and copying of digital content.
Can you connect bluray player through HDMI to computer monitor using HDMI?
HDMI is a common standard so connecting a Bluray player to any HDMI input is likely to work. Computer monitors vary little from their television counterparts but there are one or two reasons why it might not work. First, computer monitors may not be configured to handle broadcast HD signals. The timing and resolution are not standard computer formats so it is worth checking that the monitor can handle 720p 50Hz / 60Hz and 1080i 50Hz / 60Hz. Almost all should handle these format with ease but do the checking anyway. Second, a copy protection system called HDCP is used on most domestic HD equipment and it encodes signals on HDMI connectors. If the monitor does not support HDCP, there is a good chance that some or all of the output from the Bluray player will not be displayed. Once again, a check of the manual should show if the monitor is HDCP compliant.
What does the abbreviation HDCP mean?
HDCP is the abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It protects material from being distributed illegally between more than one person.

Do all HDTVs have a HDMI slot?
Yes of course, it's in the specification for HDCP.
How do you get picture to your tv when running a starchoice dvi to HDMI cable through your AV receiver then HDMI from your receiver output to your tv input?
You may not be able to get it to work through your receiver due to the HDMI HDCP copy protection feature. The Starchoice tuners have to be set up to allow the display on your brand of TV and Receiver. If your brand of receiver isn't supported as an HDCP-compliant device, then you won't see a picture. You'll have to connect directly to the TV and run a coaxial or optical digital cable to the receiver for the audio.
Do you need a hdcp 2.2 for a 4k TV?
If you want 4K every device in the chain will need to be HDCP 2.2 enabled. If it's not native 4K content, I guess it might not be needed. Hopefully this helps. revealreview.com/5-tips-choosing-4k-tv/
