Do I know anyone who's ever tried to capture an ARM-based #apple #Mac using a capture card? I am running into the dreaded #HDCP issues that seem to be common with these and google's failing me for a solution.
Does using a #HDMI splitter still work for these cases or is there some kind of fancy tool to just disable HDCP for the duration? I'm not planning on capturing copyrighted material, it's just that this is on by default universally on macs for ... a reason that escapes me but I'm sure is very forward-thinking, magical and revolutionary. #streaming #contentCreation #hacks

@benbrown depends on your workflow.

You can even use a #RaspberryPi with the #HDMI2CSI adapter board.

  • OFC you propably need a splitter so the sending device gets a proper #EDID and doesn't negotiate the wron resolution.

Don't forget that cracking #HDCP is a legal no-no, but there's no way for anyone to find out...

@Tathar I mean, #FPGA|s ain't that user-friendly in terms of setup and tooling, but #WebDevelopment as for #HDDVD should've been feasible for everyone who can make a site that doesn't look like shit on #InternetExploder 6!

  • Bad jokes aside, I wounder if HD-DVD has any sort-of "#CopyProtection" that prevents like self-recorded discs from being played.

Cuz #bluray players do accept #BDROM discs from like those #miniBD #Camcorders...

  • And even thos HD-DVD media and burners are basically #unobtanium these days, they should be able to use cheap #DVDROM since AFAIK most #DemoDiscs for HD-DVD were using #DVD media for cost savings as the #capacity of a #DualLayer-DVD is enough for the 15-30min looped #showreel footage and basically every HD-DVD drive I know does DVDs and CDs anyway so it's just #UDF 2.5 - ish.

And the whole "Copy Protection" - Pipeline with #HDCP & #AACS and the lice is only concerned about people duplicating #retail discs.

Espechally not on HD-DVD otherwise we'd not have this cool thing today!

Error message on Apple TV connected to a Samsung TV: “Disney+ has detected an HDCP issue that is preventing your content from playing. To resolve the issue, please try a different HDMI cable and/or bypass your stereo equipment by connecting the device directly to your TV.” Fix: With TV on, hold down the power button on the Samsung remote until you see it go off and then see the Samsung logo - kind of like a hard reboot. Fixed for me every time. #AppleTV #Samsung #HDMI #HDCP

Etwas Recherche ergibt: Womöglich besitze ich bereits einen #HDMI #Splitter, der #HDCP umgehen kann.

Damit könnte ich möglicherweise eine Präsentation auf #OSX über #HDMI an einen #Videoswitcher ausgeben an einen Beamer.

Ich frage mich, warum das nicht in der Produktbeschreibung steht und finde eine mögliche Antwort bei Heise:

Das Umgehen das #Kopierschutz des #MacBook Outputs ist – auch wenn ich ausschließlich von mir selbst erstellte Präsentationen oder Videos darüber abspiele – in Deutschland illegal.

Ich stelle mir das Gesicht meines #Apple nutzenden Kunden vor, wenn ich ihm sage: Sorry, dein MacBook geht mit meinem Beamer nur mit diesem illegalen Gerät, kann ich nicht machen. Ich glaube, der wird mich schlicht für inkompetent halten und nicht zahlen wollen.

(Ich arbeite in der #Veranstaltungstechnik, da sind Dinge anders als in Eurem Wohnzimmer, u.A. sind die Beamer vieeel größer. Oder manchmal auch gleich open air LED-Leinwände auf eigenem Schwerlast-Trailer…)
