How does HDCP work?
Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital
Content Protection, LLC, which then issues a set of unique secret device
keys to all authorized devices. During authentication, the receiving device
only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To further prevent
stealing of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate
a shared secret value that is constantly checked throughout the
transmission. After authentication is established, the transmitter encrypts
the data and sends it to the receiver for decryption.
Troubleshooting
What happens if I lose signal to the display while watching a movie on a
HDCP-equipped component?
The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you
change the receiving device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch
broadcast TV, then change the input back to watch the DVD movie.
However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when the
input was changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the
HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow renegotiation.
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades to static?
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating
correctly. Restart the video source and re-plug all video cables from the
source to the TV.
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is
not HDCP compliant.
When I display video from S-Video, composite, or component, why does
the video look overly compressed?
See your video device user manual to adjust the video or TV format output
to 16:9. Setting this option to 4:3 results in compressed video. This is done
differently on all brands of video devices, so it is important that you read
your video device user guide or the help tools within your video device's
software.
I see black bars on left and right of the video. Can I stretch the video to fit
more of the screen?
Press the Menu button on the side of the display, select Video Adjust,
then select Video Scaling. To fill more of the screen, choose Wide, Zoom,
or Panoramic modes.
Why when I try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p,
720p, or 1080i, either no video is displayed or I see corrupted video?
This is a normal operation of the FPD2185W. If you wish to view
component video in PIP, adjust the video output of your external device
to 480i.
