HDMI and HDCP – Some background information So I’m looking at older HDMI LCD/LED/Plasma TV’s, HDMI Projectors, Game Recording (PS3), taking screenshots for documentation and/or articles, and of course my own little project to generate ambient light behind my TV! Please keep this in mind. Please note that I’m not writing this article to promote pirating content! This article is solely aimed at using non-HDCP compliant equipment with equipment that seems to require HDCP. The downside of that project is that it only works for a dedicated HTPC running for example Kodi (XBMC).īut what if I’d like to see this with video from my XBox 360, XBox One, Wii, or … Blu-ray player or cable box?īesides the fact that we need to grab this video, and all it’s technical complications, we will be running into a copy protection issue called HDCP, a HDMI feature nobody really asked for. I’ve been playing with ambient light for my TV for a while now, as you can see in the “ Ambient TV lighting with XBMC Boblight, OpenElec and WS2811/WS2812 LEDs“, to make colorful lights (LEDs) light up matching the video you’re seeing on your TV.
