Um yes, I think he would know...
But he's already explained to me why he can't go into more detail, & I accept that without qualm.

BTW OMAP3 isn't actually designed for the use case you desire. Making it work would likely involve extra hardware and some interesting software gymnastics, and even then the result would probably be less than stellar.
I've previously pointed out that the underlying SoC (3630) is a limiting factor.
But not in the way you assert...
There's no reason MHL 720p-out functionality couldn't be added to TI's 'reference design' SoC.
Whether there's enough grunt to output to 720p displays without grinding everything else to a halt.
Is where it gets unclear...
