How so?
My assumptions were 1) that each of the 4 twisted-pairs in MMHR carries a differential SPDIF (MHR) signal, like the audio part of Speakerlink (of which only one twisted-pair of the Cat5 cable is used for audio), and 2) that the control bits normally used in SPDIF can be used by either DD/DTS for compression or by MHR for encryption, but not both.
MMHR is different to SpeakerLink which uses one twisted pair for comms. I imagine that MMHR will multiplex the channels down one or two twisted pairs.
