Which ones? So I know to avoid them.
- judge2020 6y agoI believe ones with 'hdcp bypass' are the ones you should stay away from https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=hdcp+bypass&_sacat=0 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m...
- Shared404 6y agoOh thanks. I was worried I might break a law or two there. To be super careful, I'll leave a comment to save the warning.

- dzdt 6y agoAny HDMI splitter. The "Content Protection" encryption on the wire for the digital video doesn't allow the stream to be split; to do so requires stripping off the encryption in a way not licensed by the industry consortium.
- AnssiH 6y agoAren't there non-HDCP splitters around that only allow unprotected content through? (I don't know, but I had thought so)
- CameronNemo 6y agoI'm pretty sure compliant splitters are expected to decrypt, split, then reencrypt. What a waste of resources.
- Unklejoe 6y agoNah, it's okay to split an HDCP encrypted stream as long as you enforce HDCP on the outputs as well. I think the standard allows for something like 32 endpoints.
