Forum CPU & Components : Other Components [Solved] Does An HDMI Cable Need to Be HDCP Complient

Hello,

I know that my motherboard is HDCP complient and I also know that the Sony Bravial TC is HDCP complient. What I don't know is whether or not my HDMI cable is HDCP complient. I am using Windows 7.

HDMI cables are inherently HDCP compliant. it's a non-issue when you are dealing with the cable itself.

Best answer

HDMI is HDMI, the compliance comes into effect with monitors and video cards. If you run HDMI to a recording device, like a pvr, then to your monitor, HDCP will know and you'll get either no sound or lower res. playback.

Thanks to the Hollywood police!
