    HDMI to Component switch

    Do you guys know if the newest XBOX 360 (not XBOX One) uses HDCP? I really only need the HDMI to component for the XBOX 360, for my other equipment I can use their component outputs to a 4-1 component switch (just can't get the HDMI on the XBOX 360 converted to Component to add to that switch)...
