HDCP “protects” content as it travels across different types of connections, and is generally implemented in such a way that an HDCP-compliant source won’t play content on a non-HDCP compliant connected display. So HDCP-ified content can’t be played on a number of older displays, or ones that don’t use one of the compatible types of connections.
