Is playback of copy protected or encrypted video supported while using my DisplayLink-based product?

09-14-2023

BenQ USB video adapters and USB docking stations based on DisplayLink technology do not support the playback of copy protected or encrypted video content, and we do our best to highlight this in our product descriptions and promotional materials. 

Examples of these types of video content are:

1) Video content that is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content
    Protection (also known as HDCP), for example Blu-ray discs

2) Copy protected video content provided by various online streaming
    services, for example Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Disney+,
    YouTube TV, etc. 

As a result, copy protected video content may not show on screen while using a DisplayLink-based product. In some cases (such as when using a streaming service), the copy protected video content may display an image on screen. However, the resolution of the image may be lower than expected. 

Although docking stations using DisplayLink do not support direct playback of copy protected or encrypted video, you can still play these videos through the HDMI 2.1 IN interface of the DP1310:

1) Connect your streaming devices to the HDMI 2.1 IN port, such as when
    connecting to a PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Apple TV, etc.

2) Connect a mobile device to the USB-C IN port on the back of the DP1310 to
    display on the monitor connected to DP1310's HDMI 2.1 OUT 1 for
    playback.
