Nella giornata di sabato vi abbiamo riportato una notizia preoccupante, ovvero la mancanza di schede grafiche HDCP-ready. ATi ha affermato che non c'è un effettivo bisogno di questo supporto, considerando che non ci sono contenuti HDCP disponibili, almeno per il momento.
Recently published articles about HDCP have made ATI Technologies aware of product information inconsistencies on the ATI.com website. ATI is ensuring the accurate information about HDCP support is properly presented. ATI's recently announced graphics chips, the Radeon X1000 family, are HDCP - ready and can be used to make HDCP-enabled board products. Many components have to be HDCP-enabled before a system can be used to view protected content. They include media content itself, the operating system, the video player software application, the graphics chip, and the monitor. ATI and our Add-in-Board partners will ship board products enabled for HDCP as soon as it is useful for our consumers – when more of the industry infrastructure is in place.
A corollario della dichiarazione ufficiale ecco anche le parole di Rene Froeleke, ATi Technical PR Manager per l'Europa:
"Generally, our graphics chips are HDCP ready, but the graphics boards out there are not (yet) HDCP capable"
"In order to make a graphics adapter HDCP capable, it needs the HDCP keys. If a board manufacturer wishes to build a HDCP capable graphics adapter, we can supply them with a secure BIOS ROM which includes these keys and the AIB can then build a HDCP capable graphics adapter. The HDCP capable interface of such a graphics adapter can be either DVI or HDMI,"
"What we do is that we can supply a BIOS ROM image which has a secure area into which we can put the necessary HDCP keys. The remaining part of this BIOS ROM is then used for all other BIOS information that is required on a graphics adapter."
Quindi ATi afferma che le sue schede supportano l'HDCP e che le defezioni provegono da tutte le altre componenti.
