10.1 HDCP 10. APPLICATIONS NOTE AND TIPS 10.1 HDCP HDCP is a content protection mechanism which uses encrpytion to prevent high value content from being delivered to non-authorized devices. For example, Blu-ray players use HDCP on their HDMI outputs to ensure that the HDMI output cannot be routed to a digital recording device. The Pulse² is fully HDCP compliant, meaning that you will be able to use the Pulse² to accept HDCP protected sources and route them to any HDCP protected outputs.
