HDMI require HDCP?

#1 Post by beaker » Tue May 26, 2009 9:18 pm

Yea, I can get analog from the box to the HTPC no problem. I gave up on HD. HDMI is no-go. No HDMI input (won't work anyway since it won't do HDCP). Firewire will transmit the HD signal! But... only if your input is 5c compliant. WTF?? Yep, it's the "broadcast flag" implementation. If your firewire input don't talk 5c, the cable box won't give it anything. I haven't figured out a way around that, yet... but I'm still trying
The above quote is from Slashdot. It was one of the few hits I got via Google before I asked this question here. I am trying to figure out if I digitally transmit my desktop via displayport/HDMI to a HDCP L2440x ThinkVision monitor would the L2440x monitor display my computer desktop at the monitor's 1900x1200 native resolution?
