Method, apparatus, and system for deciphering media content stream

A system comprising:

• a content communication system for processing High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) data comprising a receiver device having a content deciphering mechanism being configured to:
• receive a first media content stream from a transmitter 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 incudes an audio packet, an HDCP layer having the HDCP values, and one or more content layers including a Transition-Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) layer;
• decipher 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
• encode 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.

An apparatus comprising:

• a content communication system for processing High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) data comprising a receiver device having a content deciphering mechanism having:
• first logic to receive a first media content stream from a transmitter 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;
• second logic to decipher 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;
• third logic to encode 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.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to carry out a method according to one or more operations comprising:

• receiving a first media content stream from a transmitter 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.
