Of course the protected content will not be unencrypted, it simply will not be displayed. Your paper from Kramer is 100% correct. However, I said nothing about a Mac Mini, I was talking about an Apple TV, which works differently than the Mac Mini does. On Apple TVs, the HDCP is enabled when there is no handshaking. Period. (unless they've updated them recently). The ONLY WAY to get them to output unencrypted video is to hook them up to a repeater or sink that you can disable/enable HDCP Authorization.
When it all comes down to it, HDMI and HDCP sucks haha.
Yes, yes it does. The world would be a whole lot simpler if everything used SDI.
