[SML] Macbook hdcp question

[Steven Hood]

The projector works fine either way, but the Mac is sending HDCP which 
tells the Kramer to shut off the VGA output. If I run the Kramer without 
the projector powered on, the Kramer tells the Mac it only has a VGA 
output, and the Mac tells the Kramer to disregard HDCP. Why? I don't know.
Why not go back to the Dell? Because most of the video content I have to 
play back originally came from another Mac.
