What are HDCP & EDID?
HDCP Basics
HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection and was developed by Intel Corporation.
HDCP is a security feature requiring communication between the sender and receiver to prevent
protected material (usually High Definition video) from being copied for illegal distribution.
HDCP encrypts the digital signal with a key that requires authentication from the transmitting and
receiving product. If authentication fails then the signal fails, which means no picture on your
screen.
HDCP Support
ET-MWP100G supports the HDCP Protocol. Out of the box HDCP protection is enabled so that an
HDCP encrypted input may flash, not appear or appear as "snow" (encrypted video).
To be able to pass HDCP protected content through the box ensure that you select HDCP in both the
Adjust Sources and Adjust Outputs menus as the default menu setting is On to ensure HDCP
compliance.
EDID
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data provided by a digital display to describe its
capabilities to a video source e.g. graphics card. It is what enables a computer to know what kinds of
monitors are connected to it. The EDID includes manufacturer name and serial number, product
type, timings supported by the display, display size, luminance data and pixel mapping data.
Default EDID setting for ET-MWP100G is WUXGA because of its highest resolution.
