According to this article, even the X1900 series cards currently being sold can't do HDCP output. If this is true it's a major bummer, since this means that full resolution "protected path" playback of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD may not be possible, even though HDCP and h.264 are selling points of the X1900 series. Hope this turns out to be false. |

I think you meant to include the article and forgot, as no one would have any idea what you were referiing to. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/..._hdcp_support/ As far as that turning out to be false...I don't think that's not going to happen, the facts are pretty clear. However, as suggested by the article I'm not sure it's something really worth worrying about. I suspect it will take longer than predicted before Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drives are released, and even longer before they become sane purchases and there's enough content to warrant the upgrade. By that point you will have probably upgraded or want to upgrade your video card anyway. However, it is completely shameful and dubious that ATI advertises the functionality, but the cards can't really do it. nVidia too, though as the article mentions you can't blame them too much since they don't build their own cards. |

I would have to find where I read that ATI actually stated the boards are "HDCP" ready. Giving the impression from this article that they may possibly already have the specified hardware on the board itself but be lacking all the codecs and bios commands to run it due to the fact that the technology itself is not standardized nor finalized yet. What would be the point of building off of something that isn't even in production and could change before it does go into production unless you can change the settings revolving around it later are my thoughts. This wouldn't be the first time ATI has incorporated technology onto a board fully disabled but able to be enabled and changed later to suit needs.

Regarding hdcp support in 1900 xt /x , it do`s state on the ati web site that hdcp is supported. Now I am confused who do we believe, the artical or ati? But eh its not the end of the world, in the uk if a product you bought dos`nt do what it was advertised as being able to do, then you can take it back. So I will keep hold of my card until hd dvd becomes a reality. I will then try a hd dvd (with compatible player of course) and if it will not work then I will take my card back stating it do`s not do what it says on the box, and demand a full refund and then buy a hd dvd capable card. |

It supports HDCP via another chip, whether the chip is integrated is up to the manufacturer. At this time, there is not any X1900's with that chip. So it's a no-go. Go to beyond3d and there's a response from Sapphire about the HDCP issue you can read. |

The title of this thread is a misnomer. HDCP in and of itself is a problem. Down with HDCP ![]()

DVI 1.0 compliant / HDMI interoperable and HDCP ready EDIT: Since the "ready" part is subject to interpretation, the courts (in england at least) use the test of a "reasonable man". Whould a reasonable man interpret that phrase such that the card is able to deal with HDCP encription and output HDCP protected content? Most likely.

When a phrase such as "HDTV-ready" or "HDTV-compatible" is used, this usually implies that an HD cable/Satellite connection is needed for HDTV to be a feature. This also implies added expense. "Compliant" and "interoperable" are not the same words as "ready", but do imply some inherent capability. I would be 100% with you if ATI were implying or even stating that the X1900 were "HDCP-ready"... |

Afaik, HDCP is just another way to try and stop piracy by not allowing HD capable media to play without the correct kit, sort of DRM but in hardware. Considering how badly DRM has done so far, I can imagine certain companies losing money when people just rip HD media and play it on older operating systems. ofc I could be completely wrong, wouldn't be the first time ![]() |

Why are we complaining about the *lack* of intrusive copy protection schemes? This is idiotic. No HDCP = good!
