You can in the sense of pointing a video camera at the screen and recording it.

But if you want to capture the pixels before they are converted into light, HDCP may prevent you from doing so [1].

Nope, there's a company in Shenzhen that makes a plug-and-play bypass device: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/warner-bros-sues...

I used the hdfury years ago. the output quality wasn't anywhere near the quality of the input signal. but it did technically give you a signal without hdcp.

Different generations, and presumably you were going DAC, to VGA, rather than staying digital.

And you could always in the last resort hook up to the DLP projector screen copy the outputted data just before light.

Very messy but it should work.

HDCP stripping has been a thing for a while now: https://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/remove-hdcp-hdmi-s...

The HDFury devices work great: https://www.hdfury.com/tag/hdcp-stripper/
