Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a first media content stream at a receiver device from a transmitter device coupled to the receiver device, the first media content stream having audio content formatted in a package structure, the audio content being associated with High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) values, wherein the first media content stream includes an audio packet, an HDCP layer having the HDCP values, and one or more content layers including a Transition-Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) layer; deciphering the first media content stream by removing the one or more content layers including the TMDS layer, and the HDCP layer having the HDCP values from the first media content stream while maintaining the package structure of the audio content such that the audio packet is preserved in its original format during the deciphering process; and encoding the removed one or more content layers including the TMDS layer back on the audio packet to develop a second media content stream that does not include the HDCP layer.
