How to disable HDCP?
Hello,
If I connect an HDCP enabled monitor to an HDCP enabled graphic card, whill the HDCP will always be enabled, i.e. encrypted, even if I just use my PC for working and browsing the web? This means that I cannot use a DVI-D or HDMI splitter? (see the same pictures at two different displays)
Thank

Thanks. So basically, when not showing an HDCP content, the encryption is not invoked, even if both monitor and graphic card enable it. Does it depends on the card and monitor vendors? Additionally, it should not down-scale resolution for non-HDCP content?
Thanks again

An HDCP enabled monitor or graphic card basically means they have an HDCP authentication chip. The chip just sits there doing nothing until you attempt to view HDCP encrypted content. Non-HDCP content is not affected. What happens when you attempt to view HDCP content on non-compliant hardware is up to the content provider. In most cases you will probably see a black screen and/or a message.
