Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A value that indicates whether this connector can engage the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection output protection scheme. The default value is false.

Remarks

HDCP can only be engaged on the following digital connectors: DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort.

HDCP requires that all components of the path from the computer to the output support HDCP. If any one of these components does not support HDCP, regardless whether it is the monitor, graphics card, graphics driver, receiver, keyboard/mouse/monitor switch, or other similar device, HDCP is not engaged and this value is false.

For Silverlight 4, this value is always false on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Mac OS X.
