Talk:High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

HDCP bans analog outputs from compliant products, presumably in an attempt to reduce the size of the analog hole in HDCP devices.

Does this refer to a device that might try to accept an HDCP signal and convert it to analog, or does this mean that a device that produces an HDCP signal cannot also provide analog output? This needs to be clearer. HD-DirecTiVos, at least, have both component and HDMI outputs. Is this in violation of HDCP (but within the FCC ruling), or is this okay by the HDCP Spec? - Bitt 17:58, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
