The goal:
To stream video and audio output from an HDMI device to a computer over a local network in real time. For example, streaming the HDMI output from an Xbox 360 to a computer on the same network. The computer would play the stream with VLC or a similar app.
Questions:
- Is this possible with a Raspberry Pi 3? Or is there another product that could do this more easily?
- Can the HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi 3 handle HDMI input? My understanding is it can't. If not, what additional hardware exists that could do that?
- Would the HDMI signal need to be processed or downsampled before streaming to reduce the data rate? If so, how? And is the Pi 3 fast enough to do that in real time?
- What kind of software setup on the Pi could do the streaming? Any OS is fine, ideally using Raspbian.
