What does NTSTATUS 0xC01E0515 (STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_OUTPUT_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_CGMSA) mean?

STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_OUTPUT_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_CGMSA

STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_OUTPUT_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_CGMSA means that the output cannot enable Content Generation Management System Analog (CGMS-A) signaling. This is a capability result for a particular signaling technology, not a general declaration that all protected playback is unavailable.

OPM distinguishes protection levels from ACP/CGMS-A signaling. The driver interface documents separate commands and supported signaling information, so a caller must not use a CGMS-A request as though it were an HDCP state change.

Diagnostic distinction

• Query the output’s supported protection and signaling features before building a configuration request.
• Keep CGMS-A failures separate from STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_OUTPUT_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_ACP; both concern analog protection, but they are different capabilities.
• When content policy requires this signaling, select a documented compatible output path rather than retrying the same unsupported request.
