HDCP Compliance Testing is a test to ensure that the encryption function of the device meets the requirements of the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection Association HDCP protocol, so that the protected content cannot be illegally copied and disseminated.
The document provides an overview of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), explaining how it encrypts data over HDMI to protect high‑definition content. It outlines the purpose of HDCP compliance testing, the test specification, and what the tests evaluate.
It also describes the structure of interoperability workshops (plugfests), the requirements for licensing, and lists upcoming plugfest dates. A glossary of HDCP terminology and examples of tested sink devices are included.
HDCP encrypts data over HDMI to protect high‑definition digital content.
Tests check if encryption is enabled and disabled as it should be, covering normal operation and error conditions.
No, HDCP compliance is not a certification and does not provide a logo or warranty.
The next plugfest is scheduled for 29 Oct – 2 Nov at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Milpitas, California.
