1. An electronic device configured to transmit a content item comprising video data and audio data, the device comprising:
- a video encoder configured to encode video data to generate a video packetized elementary stream (PES);
an encryptor configured to encrypt the video PES encoded by the video encoder, by using an encryption system complying with an HDCP standard;
an audio encoder configured to encode audio data to generate an audio PES;
a multiplexer configured to generate multiplexed data complying with an MPEG-2 TS format, the multiplexed data comprising the video PES encrypted by the encryptor and the audio PES not subjected to encryption complying with the HDCP standard, the multiplexer being configured to insert a registration descriptor specified by the HDCP standard in a program map table (PMT) in the multiplexed data when copyright protection is required for the video PES and the audio PES, the registration descriptor indicating that the video PES is encrypted by using an encryption system complying with the HDCP standard and not indicating that the audio PES is to be protected in accordance with the HDCP standard; and
a content transmitter configured to output, by using an RTP protocol, the multiplexed data generated by the multiplexer to an external device via a wireless transmission path, wherein;
the external device prohibits copying of both the video PES encrypted in accordance with the HDCP standard and the audio PES not subjected to encryption complying with the HDCP standard if the registration descriptor is inserted in the PMT in the multiplexed data, the registration descriptor indicating that the video PES is encrypted by using the encryption system complying with the HDCP standard and not indicating that the audio PES is to be protected in accordance with the HDCP standard; and
the external device permits copying of the audio PES not subjected to encryption complying with the HDCP standard if the registration descriptor is not inserted in the PMT in the multiplexed data.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a content transmitter. The content transmitter is configured to output a content item including first data and second data to one transmission path, by applying a first copyright protection system to copyright protection of the first data and applying a second copyright protection system to copyright protection of the second data. The first copyright protection system involves encryption of data to be copyright-protected. The second copyright protection system involves no encryption of data to be copyright-protected.
