HDCP 1.x Receiver IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 1.x Receiver IP is a silicon-proven solution designed to enable secure transmission of high-definition digital video and audio content across HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort (DP), and Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interfaces. Fully compliant with HDCP 1.x specifications, it supports authentication, key exchange, and encryption to protect digital content from unauthorized access or copying—making it ideal for multimedia and display applications across consumer electronics, automotive infotainment, and embedded systems.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. Its robust interoperability and ease of integration into SoC platforms ensure fast deployment in content-protected systems.

Benefits

Comprehensive HDCP Receiver Implementation – Implements full HDCP 1.1-1.4 Receiver functionality, providing robust content protection for secure video and audio transmission across digital interfaces.
Multi-Interface Compatibility – Designed for seamless integration with DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and MHL content interfaces to support a wide range of consumer and professional video applications.
Robust Authentication and Key Management – Implements SHA-1-based authentication, System Renewability Message (SRM) handling, and revocation list processing for secure, renewable key management. Supports user-programmable device keys for authentication and custom system deployment.
Flexible Cipher Architecture – Supports 8, 16, and 32-bit cipher output widths, enabling scalable integration across varied SoC data paths.
Advanced Encryption Status Signaling – Provides both Original Encryption Status Signaling (OESS) and Enhanced Encryption Status Signaling (EESS) to ensure interoperability with all HDCP-compliant transmitters.
Integrated Random Number Generation – Includes HDCP-compliant random number generator (RNG) functions to support secure challenge-response and key exchange operations.
Optimized System Integration – Designed for low-latency authentication, compact implementation, and seamless connectivity with HDCP-enabled HDMI/DisplayPort RX controllers and PHYs, using standard AXI, AHB, or APB bus interfaces.
