HDCP 1.x Transmitter IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 1.x Transmitter IP is a silicon-proven solution for securely transmitting high-definition video and audio over HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort (DP), and Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interfaces. Fully compliant with HDCP 1.x specifications, it enables robust authentication, encryption, and key management to prevent unauthorized content access across a wide range of multimedia applications.

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 broad compatibility and easy integration make it ideal for consumer electronics, automotive systems, and embedded display platforms.

Benefits

Complete HDCP Transmitter Implementation – Implements full HDCP 1.1-1.4 Transmitter functionality to ensure secure content encryption and transmission over digital video interfaces.
Multi-Interface Support – Seamlessly integrates with HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, and MHL transmitters, enabling wide interoperability for multimedia and consumer-electronics applications.
Robust Authentication and Key Exchange – Implements SHA-1-based authentication and HDCP Authentication and Key Exchange (AKE) protocols, supporting user-programmable device keys, revocation list processing, and System Renewability Message (SRM) handling for secure key management.
Flexible Cipher Engine – Supports 8, 16, and 32-bit cipher output widths, delivering optimized throughput for high-resolution video streams.
Advanced Encryption Status Control – Provides both Original Encryption Status Signaling (OESS) and Enhanced Encryption Status Signaling (EESS) to ensure compliance with all HDCP 1.x Receiver implementations.
Integrated Random Number Generation – Includes HDCP-compliant RNG functions used during authentication and key-exchange handshakes for secure, non-repeatable sessions.
Optimized for System Integration – Low-latency architecture with compact footprint, easily integrated with HDCP-enabled HDMI/DisplayPort TX controllers and PHYs, using standard AXI, AHB, or APB bus interfaces.
