Enabling Intel Protected Audio Video Playback (PAVP)
(m710x and m710x-L server blades)
Use this task to enable PAVP to stream Blu-ray to your customers. When PAVP is enabled, performance
may be affected. This feature is disabled by default.
PAVP is required to enable the playback of the new high-definition media as described by the Blu-Ray
Disc standard. BIOS is required to support PAVP for Blu-ray playback. PAVP enabled software players will
not be able to play Blu-ray disc content when BIOS PAVP support is disabled.
