HDCP Problems
Posted: Fri May 10, 2013 9:17 pm
I've posted this comment on someone else's thread, but I just wanted to start a thread of my own because this is an important issue for me and I'd be grateful for someone knew of a work around that didn't involve sending too much more money.
I'm running a Samsung Series 5 Laptop out of HDMI output into an 'HDMI - SDI Mini converter' running down SDI to an 'HDLink DVI Pro' converting back to HDMI and jumping into a Sony Bravia TV and getting no picture. The screen is acknowledging a 1080p signal but not outputting the image.
When I test the exact same system with a MacBook Pro, mini display to DVI/HDMI it works just fine. But when tested with a PS3 again no image.
This confirms, to me, that this can only really be an HDCP issue, can't it?!?
Of course, I've bypassed all of BMD kit and have had no problems at all. But the only reason I bought this kit was to run the HD signal from the Series 5 laptop, down SDI. Meaning the one thing that I have bought all of this kit for has resulted in a waste of money. (Sad face)
Also, is HDCP support a firmware thing? Can it be written out if the developers where so inclined? And does anybody know if there is a way of stopping my laptop from requesting HDCP protocols?
Thanks.
