i am confuse now, I thought if your monitor is not HDCP, then you couldn\'t receive any signal from blu ray with hdcp...
ICT was made for the analog connection only? I don\'t think they use it for the digital connection because the digital connection already have hdcp...
Yes my monitor does not have HDCP. But it can still be used to watch a Blu-Ray movie, because ICT has been "delayed".
ICT is what controls if the image will get downscaled or not, it works with HDCP.
If a movie uses ICT (not before 2011-2012) and is played on a TV without HDCP (that means, if you use a analog OR a digital connection WITHOUT HDCP. Today HDMI and DVI support HDCP, IIRC ALL HDMI televisions have HDCP but not all DVI televisions/monitors have this)
Blu-ray Disc players will allow content providers to set an Image Constraint Token (ICT) flag that will only output full-resolution signals using HDCP. If such a player is connected to a non-HDCP-enabled television set and the content is flagged, the player will output a downsampled 960x540p signal. Most high-definition television sets currently in use in the United States are not HDCP-capable, and this would initially negate some of the key benefits of HD-DVD and Blu-ray for those consumers. Movie studios are apparently in agreement to not include the ICT flag on any HD DVDs or Blu-ray Discs until at least 2010, or possibly even 2012.[1]
