Well, you are saying this as though the three of them are all saying the same thing. However, they are not.
Did not notice, but okay.
Some say the HDMI TMDS stream is encrypted. Others insist it is not encrypted.
How about you? Do you think the stream is encrypted or not?
If what you are asking is...
Does the source, AVR &/or other inline device in any way change the actual video data (other than to overlay OSD) that is on the disc (or other media) to provide a measure of security?
No, nothing changes the data as it is written.
How the data is out-putted (Rez, Bit-Rate & Audio Formatt) from the source to the AVR/display is dependent upon Q & A in the EDID channels.
This is quite essential to the overall discussion.
Why?
And how does this effect what you do on the job?
BTW: I think that Bob L is referring to all of the batch header info (such as Clock, Row, Column, pixil number etc) which is digital by nature.
That has nothing to do with content protection.
What is sent is what is received (not accounting for line loss).
The HD Fury should be a good indicator about this.
It spoofs HDCP and does a video Digital to Analog down conversion and Viola!
