PS3 gadget can bypass HDCP copy protection
Our sister site, PSPSPS, has discovered a gadget that can bypass HDCP on the PS3.
The Gameswitch PS3-S201 allows the Playstation 3 to be connected via DVI to a non-HDCP certified monitor, and display content at 1080p resolution. As DVI doesn't handle sound, that will have to be routed separately to the TV or speaker system, though the unit does appear to have jacks for this.
It's unlikely to be a pirate's dream, as the method would only allow you to record a disc in real-time and without any audio. More useful for anyone with a slightly older DVI-based monitor that doesn't have the necessary content protection system in place, though at $199 it's not a pocket money gadget.
I have a movie server from an Indian company called UFO movies which I want to connect to a Barco FLM HD 18 projector.
The UFO server has HDCP encryption while the Barco is not HDCP compliat.
Can the PS3-S201 work and bypass the HDCP to the projector.
If yes I would like to buy immediately
