3.1 About HDCP
The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard
(developed by Intel), protects digital video and audio signals transmitted over
DVI or HDMI connections between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate
the reproduction of copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such
as movie studios) from having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP
standard provides for the secure and encrypted transmission of digital
signals.
3.2 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID

a display, to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The EDID enables
the FC-46xl to identify what kind of display is connected to the output. The
