“On Friday, a teardown of [Apple’s Lightning Digital AV Adapter] revealed an embedded SoC, though the exact nature of the package was unknown,” AppleInsider reports. “Due to the presence of image artifacts and limited resolution similar to what is seen when an iOS device streams to an Apple TV, it was speculated that the adapter outputs video by converting the raw signal into Apple’s AirPlay protocol before sending it through HDMI.”
“That theory was debunked by an anonymous comment on the blog that first provided the teardown, which says AirPlay is not involved in the operation of the adapter,” AppleInsider reports. “The accessory’s SoC, the commenter says, simply ‘boots straight into a daemon designed to accept incoming data from the host device, decode that data stream, and output it through the A/V connectors.’ Interestingly, the commenter hints that they work for or with Apple in some capacity…”
AppleInsider reports, “The system, says the commenter, allows Apple to keep its devices compatible with all existing and future standards by releasing new adapters.”

Take a breather breeze. You sound more burnt than me tonight!
Over and out.
If it came from an anonymous comment on a blog from someone who hinted that they work for or with Apple in some capacity, then it must be true.
It’s on the Internet so it must be true? You’re not a French model are you?
I don’t get it. But I guess it’s good.
The thing that puzzles me is why people are surprised at this ? I was under the impression that they worked like this because that’s what we were told when Lightning cables were first launched.
Like so many ideas coming from Apple, it initially seems like an unnecessarily complex way of doing things, but when you look at the bigger picture and consider implications for the future, it’s the most sensible way of solving the problem and it seems like the obvious way to do it ( so long as you have the benefit of hindsight ).
Adopting an interface that can be reconfigured to cope with future technologies means that it’s a much more attractive proposition for manufacturers integrating things like iPad connectivity into long lasting and expensive items such as cars and AV equipment. Lightning is designed to be useful and relevant for a similar period to the lifespan of a modern car.
It’s for Apple to know and ShamScum to fast follow and be praised by Wallstreet later for being the best Thief in Tech. Wallstreet admires clever thieves.
