The HDCP repeater bit is a part of the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection specification and applies to intermediate devices (HDCP Repeaters) between the Source device and the Presentation device. For example a Bluray connected by HDMI to an AV Receiver which in turn connected to a TV using HDMI makes the AV Receiver an HDCP Repeater. The AV Receiver reports to the Transmitter whether it is a Repeater or a Receiver (no downstream devices) using the REPEATER bit.

Famous quotes containing the word bit:
“This dog and man at first were friends;
But when a pique began,
The dog, to gain some private ends,
Went mad and bit the man.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
