Author Topic: Sony SRX-R110 & HDCP Jason Metcalfe Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Austin, TX, U.S. Registered: May 2010 posted 05-10-2010 07:32 PM                     I have access to a very expensive Sony Projector (SRX-R110) which, in some sort of bizarre joke, is not HDCP compliant I am now trying to figure out a way to use a non-hdcp signal blu-ray player, we have an Oppo BDP-80 and I'm wondering if there is a way to hack the firmware like the Oppo DV-970HD in order to strip the HDCP from the source. I know there are HDMI strippers available, however this seems like an incomplete solution to the problem. Also, though Sony was originally developing an HDCP compliant input card, I believe that this has stopped in lieu of development of their newer projection systems. One solution could be to play blu-rays off of a pc, however I'm not sure if we have the budget at this time for that. I just wanted to see if anyone here had a unique solution to this problem.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

NONE of the "R" series A/V projectors are HDCP compliant. One of the features of the "T" series A/V projectors is HDCP compliance. HDCP compliance goes beyond the input module...it is deeper in the projector than that. As such, you will not likely see Sony revamp circuit boards for an obsolete product. There are devices, like HDFury2 that will take an HDMI signal and output either RGB or YUV analog...which, to the best of my knowledge, are legally sold to allow legacy products to display HD content.
