What is an HDMI InstaPort technology in Samsung Smart TV's?

Samsung's Smart TV InstaPort technology allows the digital television to perform simultaneous background HDCP(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) authentication with all connected source devices connected via HDMI cable. When a new input HDMI source is selected by the viewer, the HDCP authentication has already been performed and the newly selected HDMI source can begin streaming content immediately. The time required to switch between HDMI inputs is reduced to less than one second.
