Great teardown. Can these things remove HDCP altogether? It seems like if it can report that the sink is HDCP2.x then it can do so even if it has no compliance at all right? So that would mean it streams an encrypted stream to something that needs to then still do the decryption? These devices seem like they'd be underpowered to do that in real time at 18 Gb/s.


I assume the silicon can do it, but it’s not exposed to the user, because that would almost certainly be a license violation.
