5.1.10. HDCP 2.3 TX Architecture

The HDCP 2.3 transmitter block encrypts video and auxiliary data prior to the transmission over serial link that has HDCP 2.3 device connected.
The HDCP 2.3 TX core consists of the following entities:
  • Control and Status Registers Layer
  • Authentication and Cryptographic Layer
  • Video Stream and Auxiliary Layer
Figure 28. Architecture Block Diagram of HDCP 2.3 TX IP

The Nios II processor typically drives the HDCP 2.3 TX core. The processor implements the authentication protocol. The processor accesses the IP through the Control and Status Port using Avalon Memory Mapped (Avalon-MM) interface.

The HDCP specifications requires the HDCP 2.3 TX core to be programmed with the DCP-issued production key – Global Constant (lc128). The IP retrieves the key from the on-chip memory externally to the core through the HDCP Key Port. The on-chip memory must store the key data in the arrangement in the table below.

Address Content
2'h3 lc128[127:96]
2'h2 lc128[95:64]
2'h1 lc128[63:32]
2'h0 lc128[31:0]

The Video Stream and Auxiliary Layer receives audio and video content over its Video and Aux Data Input port, and performs the encryption operation. The Video Stream and Auxiliary Layer detects the Encryption Status Signaling (ESS) provided by the HDMI TX core to determine when to encrypt frames.

You can use the HDCP 2.3 registers to perform authentication. The HDCP 2.3 TX core supports full handshaking mechanism for authentication. Every issued command should be followed by polling of the assertion of its corresponding status bit before proceeding to issuing the next command. The value of CRYPTO_CMD must be in one-hot encoding format that only one bit can be set at a time.
