This isn't doable. Nothing prevents you from gluing or projecting a screen directly into the sensor, after tone mapping the image properly. There is no winning. It wouldn't even be expensive!

Yes, that has been repeatedly pointed out. And yet the industry still did it and your digital cables carrying video aren't going to work properly without the HDCP DRM.

Yeah, but I can get an HDCP-compliant HDMI capture card for 8$ on Aliexpress, so I really don't care and it really doesn't work. You can also buy splitters that happen to disable HDCP.
