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.
