HDMI-ETHERNET adapter for remote liveview...

[is.videoproduzioni]

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if we could ever use an HDMI-ETHERNET adapter like this http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17prlaql0885ijpg/original.jpg
to send canon's HDMI output directly inside the LAPTOP Ethernet IN, and then decode the VIDEO LIVE STREAMING with a software like VLC.

All this could maybe permit us to use our laptop as external monitor without the need of an HDMI video card, or the use of the LOW FPS usb tethering shooting software.
Nikon D4 already have something similar..

It's just a wrong idea or it could be done?

Thank you,
Jack

It's just an extender that lets you use different cables. It does not decode the video signal in any way.

I know this, it would be just to solve the lack of "HDMI IN" in almost all of the laptops.

To decode the video stream, we could use VLC with the right codec and settings. It

That adapter doesn't convert HDMI signal to Ethernet, it simply routes the HDMI through the Ethernet wires. It's handy because a long ethernet cable is cheaper than an HDMI one

If that's true I don't see why it should not work

Guys, nanomad is right. Again, the signal at the other end of the LAN cable won't be a network signal, the network card won't know what to do with it. Worst case, it might even harm it. The cable is not supposed to be put into a network card.

Got it, too good to be true

This is for running HDMI over long distances. It goes HDMI -> Cat5 -> another HDMI adapter.

That's right !
It use the ethernet cable to "transport" hdmi, it's a sort of passive device... We use it sometimes.

Its doable but the video size is too small. Related to implementing mjpeg as that needs a larger size too and is the same function. USB doesn't have enough bandwidth though and the "video" is going to be pretty laggy.
