4K 60 Hz HDCP 2.3 / 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter / Downgrader

Did you ever see the following statement:

"This TV does not support HDCP 2.3 or 2.2. Make sure you have an HDCP 2.3 or HDCP 2.2 capable TV" or a similar HDCP error message on your TV?

Make sure you never see it again with HDTV Supplys WolfPack HDCP 2.3 / 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter / Downgrader.

Upgrade to perfect HDCP 2.3 or 2.2 for a fraction of the cost of buying a new display.

NOTE: Our competition only converts HDCP 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 but our unit protects you in the future by supporting both HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 2.3.

HDCP 2.3 & 2.2 are the new copy-protection schemes for 4K 60 and 4K 30 Hz content. Not only is it not backward compatible but many recent 4K devices do not even support it. Source devices, including media servers and head-ends like Netflix, will encode their 4K content with this new scheme.

TVs must be HDCP 2.3 or 2.2 enabled to play it, and everything in the video chain including HDTV switches and Audio & Video Receivers must be compliant as well, or the display will go dark and/or display an HDCP error message.

This is bad news for consumers who have purchased expensive, high-bandwidth, processor-rich HDMI switchers and AV receivers to accommodate 4K that are HDCP 1.4 and only our HDCP 2.3 and HDCP 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 converter can help you with your existing system.

This device is source powered so you may not need an AC adapter, but we send one anyway in case your source device doesn't have enough voltage and current to support it.

How to Solve HDCP 2.2 Problems on Your TV:

Follow these practical steps to fix HDCP 2.3 or 2.2 errors that prevent 4K playback. This guide helps you troubleshoot HDMI issues with your TV, receiver, and source devices.

Step 1: Confirm HDCP 2.3 or 2.2 Compatibility:

Make sure all connected devices and cables support HDCP 2.2 or HDCP 2.3.

  • Check your TV manual or HDMI port labels for “HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 2.3” or “4K 60 Hz.”
  • Confirm your source (Blu-ray, Roku, Apple TV) and receiver also supports HDCP 2.3 or 2.2.

Step 2: Use the Correct HDMI Port:

Connect the source to the HDMI port labeled HDCP 2.3 & 2.2 or 4K 60 Hz. Try different ports if not labeled.

Step 3: Power Cycle to Reset the Handshake:

  • Turn off your TV, source, and any HDMI switchers.
  • Unplug all devices for 30–60 seconds.
  • Power up in this order: TV → receiver/switch → source device.

Step 4: Check or Replace HDMI Cable:

  • Use a Premium High Speed HDMI cable (18 Gbps rating).
  • Keep it under 15 ft (5 m). For longer distances, use active or fiber HDMI.

Step 5: Bypass Intermediate Devices:

Connect your source directly to the TV.

  • If the error disappears, your HDMI receiver or splitter may not support HDCP 2.3 or 2.2.
  • Update firmware or replace the device if needed.

Step 6: Update Firmware:

  • Check for firmware updates on the TV, source, and receiver.
  • Reboot devices after updating to reset the handshake.

Step 7: Lower Resolution (Temporary Fix):

Change the source output to 480p, 720p or 1080p. This uses HDCP 1.4, which often resolves playback errors, though it disables 4K.

Step 8: Adjust EDID Settings:

  • Set EDID to Auto or the TV’s native resolution (e.g., 4K 60 Hz).
  • Reboot the matrix or receiver after adjusting EDID.

Step 9: Disable Unused HDMI Features:

Turn off HDMI-CEC and Deep Color options in both the TV and source settings to simplify the HDCP handshake process.

Step 10: Replace Non-Compliant Equipment

If any device doesn’t support HDCP 2.3 or 2.2, replace it with a compliant model to ensure full 4K functionality.

Tip: Use certified HDMI cables and regularly update your devices to prevent recurring HDCP errors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What causes HDCP 2.2 errors?

A: They occur when one or more connected devices do not support HDCP 2.3 or 2.2, or when the HDMI handshake fails due to outdated firmware or non-certified cables.

Q: Which HDMI ports support HDCP 2.3 or 2.2?

A: Only specific HDMI inputs on your TV may support HDCP 2.3 and 2.2. Look for ports labeled “HDCP 2.3 or 2.2” or “4K 60 Hz.”

Q: Can using 480p, 720p and 1080p fix the issue?

A: Yes, lowering the resolution to 480p, 720p or 1080p uses HDCP 1.4, which can temporarily fix playback issues but reduces video quality.

Q: Do all HDMI cables support HDCP 2.3 & 2.2?

A: No. You need a certified Premium High-Speed HDMI cable (18 Gbps) for 4K playback with HDCP 2.2 & HDCP 2.3.

Q: How do I know if my receiver supports HDCP 2.3 or 2.2?

A: Check your receiver’s manual or specifications page. If it’s an older model (pre-2015), it may only support HDCP 1.4.

This is bad news for consumers who have purchased expensive, high-bandwidth, processor-rich switchers and receivers to accommodate 4K. While the newer products may support the bandwidth needs of 4K, they wont play copy-protected works until HDTV Supplys HDCP 2.3 / 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter is an active part of the setup.

If your TV, monitor or projector cannot play HDCP 2.2 content because it lacks of a HDCP 2.2 compliant input, our HDCP 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter will solve your issue!

HDCP stands for "High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection". HDCP requires that each HDMI connection establish a unique link between the two devices, often called a handshake.

This "handshake" trades encrypted codes between the devices so that you can't plug your Blu-ray player into a recorder and rip a copy. Many of the problems that we hear people having with their HDMI devices comes from this handshake failing.

HDCP 2.3 and 2.2 is all about protecting 4K content. That means if you want to stick with 1080p for the time being, you don't have to worry about HDCP 2.3 / 2.2.

If you do want 4k content, every device in your video chain must have HDCP 2.3 and 2.2. This will be true in the future where content will be HDCP 2.2 encrypted. Non-2.3 and 2.2 encrypted content will not apply.

The problem we've seen is that people are assuming that anything with HDMI 2.0 will have HDCP 2.3 or 2.2. So far, that has not been the case. Our research has shown that there are no devices currently offered that have both a full HDMI 2.0 implementation and HDCP 2.3 and 2.2.

If you are shopping for a 4k display, you'll want to look for HDCP 2.3 / 2.2 compatibility as well as resolution and bit depth or use our HDCP 2.3 and 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter. Match the display's capabilities with the HDMI 2.0 maximums, and you should be good to go. If the display does NOT show HDCP 2/3 / 2.2 compatibility, when native 4K content arrives, your display will not accept it.

On receivers, you'll want to check how many of their inputs/outputs are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.3 & 2.2 enabled. Right now, manufacturers are limiting the maximum number to decrease costs.

With limited bandwidth on some HDMI 2.0 terminals and lack of HDCP 2.3 and 2.2 on others, you may have to send video directly from your Blu-ray player to your display (bypassing your receiver) if you buy one of the first generation HDMI 2.0 receivers
