I just read this sobering article from Sound & Vision and got a chill down my spine...
I wonder if any of the new, high profile Blu-ray software releases (i.e. Star Wars) will begin implementing the ICT "feature" which would limit component-video analog outputs to resolution no greater than SD interlace (480i or 576i). Can you imagine that kind of disclosure on the keep case artwork on the back of future Blu-ray titles?
While this does not affect everyone, the article makes reference to about 3 million affected sets. I personally have an older front projector setup with Stewart screen and would be affected.
With HDCP cracked, I hope this "feature" on software media never gets implemented and just fades into oblivion.
