There was a period where HDMI compatibility involved a lot of verification and testing, but the newest generation of receiver/transmitter chips eliminate most of that. The new chips have all the handshaking routines built into them, there's no timing that has to be done by the host. All the host has to do is wait for the indication that a signal is ready and start reading it. All the HDCP is automatically done in the chip, and even the keys are pre-programmed.

But seeing how long Emo had their pre/pro in production it probably isn't based around the newest chips (the just released 1.3 and all 1.4 chips).
