1.) Does anybody know if the HDMI output of the Flip MinoHD is HDCP encrypted? I want to be able to convert the output of the Flip into HD-SDI (with one of these: http://www.ensembledesigns.com/products/brighteye/be83), and if it's encrypted I'm SOL.

2.) If it is encrypted, what's up with that? Any content coming out of it is mine, and I should be able to do with it as I please.

Whilst I can't see any specs that say for certain, it would be extremely unusual for a camera to copy-protect its HDMI output, given that its USB output will spit out unprotected source material. The manufacturer would have to pay extra to license HDCP for its output, with no vendor benefit. I've never heard of such a case.

1) Any HDMI connection is HDCP encrypted

2)This is why -

It can protect the data from Piracy using the HDCP protocol. Basically the protocol uses a handshaking mechanism to ensure that the data is transmitted between two authentic devices.

Basically the BrightEye 83 should work as it has a HDMI port
