Yes, the TMDS encoder may be HDCP compliant, but unless is has the keys and an HDCP cipher, it doesn't really help... This is a higher-end ATI card. And that's the marketing bullet set which suggest compliancy. A receiver cannot dictate encryption required. It is told (via Encryption Status Signaling) what to do on a per-frame basis. One can't enable encryption until link status has been confirmed, yet one needs an active video signal to start encrypting!
