Looking for the system requirements for HDCP 2.2.
Follow the steps below to find the product specifications for Intel processors.
HDCP was originally developed by Intel engineers but gradually became common throughout the technology and entertainment industries. HDCP often gets confused with HDMI, and while they’re related they obviously aren’t the same. HDCP provides copy protection and piracy prevention for three main connection types, including HDMI. The other two are DVI and DisplayPort. So, while you shouldn’t confuse HDCP with HDMI just remember that ALL of your devices and cables must be HDCP compliant to enjoy 4K content since HDMI has become virtually universal. By devices, we mean source (streaming box, Blu-ray, PC, game console, HDMI splitter, and others), cables, and accepting device – your projector, TV, or monitor. If even one component lacks HDCP certification, the content won’t play in 4K or may not play at all. You also need to have the same version of HDCP on all components or else you’ll get downgraded full HD content and not 4K.
