Where does it say "strip"?

>-Support HDR & HDCP 2.2 Pass-through

Which is not stripping away anything.



Like flashlight apps containing hidden tethering proxies[1], these products would quickly be taken down if they advertised their real functionality.

Those who remember the old analogue "video stabilisers" used for stripping Macrovision copy protection signals will find this similar.

It is passthrough, but it just so happens that the hdcp protection doesn't quite make it through on many of these devices.
