HDMI Inputs on Receivers/Processors

If a receiver/processor has HDMI input(s), can the audio portion of the program be split out and the video sent on to the display in a digital (DVI or HDMI) format? Support for content protection (via HDCP) is confusing in this scenario as the receiver must decrypt the signal from the source (STB, DVR etc.), and then re-encrypt the video prior to sending it on to the display. It's my understanding of HDCP that at no point in the process can the decrypted, digital audio or video signal be accessible.
