Xbox 360 HDCP?

Craig321 · 25 Apr 2012 at 19:37

I have a Xbox 360 (white), 250GB from 2010 - Final Fantasy 13 Special Edition.

Could anyone tell me if it uses HDCP or not please?

Thanks.

If its connected via HDMI then yes it will use HDCP but VGA and COMPONENT connections do not use HDCP

The last I heard, Xbox doesn't use HDCP when playing games.

Ok thanks. Just need to be sure as the xbox 360 works on my U2410 monitor perfectly, but needed to make sure it's using HDCP so I know if a PS3 will work on there or not.

If it plays DVDs or Netflix streams without any error messages it should be fine. As mentioned above HDCP is off for games.

Do you know if it's the same for the PS3? Does that run games without HDCP?

Thanks.

It's on for games and probably never off on the PS3.

Ok, thanks. Will test it by playing a DVD in the xbox tonight. Will the xbox use HDCP with a DVD regardless of what DVD it is (e.g. home video, ancient DVD with no protection)? I want to make sure the test I run tonight will be using HDCP.

Thanks
