Troubleshooting HDCP errors

Common problems

This table describes possible solutions to problems that may occur during HDCP testing.

Running HDCP test in step mode

The generator normally runs the steps in the HDCP test automatically. If the test fails, the

test is restarted after a few seconds, which makes it difficult to read values at the step

where the test failed. Run any HDCP test in manual mode to pause the test after each

step.

To run the HDCP test in step mode:

1. At any step during an HDCP test, press the

Step

key.

2. Turn the

Image

knob to advance to the next step. If you are using an PCI-based

generator, use the commands displayed on the screen to advance to the next step.

3. Press the

Step

key again to return to automatic mode.

Running an HDCP self-test

An HDCP self-test checks that HDCP authentication is working properly between the

transmitter and receiver on the analyzer. This test can also be used to confirm that a cable

is not interfering with HDCP authentication, and that the DDC clock and DDC data pins,

which the I2C buss uses, are working correctly.

Problem

Solution

Test fails at step 3

Transmitter could not read Bksv from the receiver, Bksv was read cor-
rectly but is a wrong value, or an I2C error occurred.

If the EdidData image loads, the I2C communication is working properly.

Verify that the Bksv value is 5 bytes (that is, 40 bits of which 20 zeros
and 20 ones) by reading the value from the test image.

Restart the generator while holding down the Outputs key, or use the

SROP

16 command, which starts the generator in “Reset HDCP Rx by

gating clock” mode.

HdcpProd image is
unavailable

The HdcpProd image requires the HDCP production key option to be
installed in the generator. To determine if this option is installed, view
the GenStats image. The HDCP option will be listed under the Options
heading if it is present.
