I think the important  quote was the one referring to passing through HDCP.
 There is nothing wrong with capturing HDMI and passing it along
unencrypted - as long as you aren't bypassing HDCP.  Blackmagicdesign
makes a $300 HDMI capture card, but it won't capture from an HDCP
protected source.  If the Gefen box was recording HDCP protected
transmissions in the clear, well, that was dumb.
