#Thunderbolt to hdmi adapter lag 720p#
I need either HDMI or Component input and at least 720p would be nice. I do see a usb 2.0 to express card adapter, don't know if that would work for me with the express card the OP mentioned worked. An old <$30 Hybrid HDTV USB stick that also has composite & svideo inputs does work fine.

The H.264 compression chip takes too long processing the video.

They all have too much lag (1-2 seconds). I have tried Roxio Game Capture HD Pro, Hauppauge PVR2 Gaming Edition, & Elgato Game Capture HD. If you're girlfriend is using the TV, I doubt she cares if theres a tiny TV on the coffee table no bigger than your laptop, and when you're done it's small enough you can just unplug it and put it in the closet or something. It's far easier and more cost effective to go to any big box retailer and just buy a cheapo 20" LCD TV with HDMI. I doubt that would even be close to playable if you jumped through every hoop to get it working. To be honest, odds are unless the adapter is used as a passthrough with another HDMI on the other end actually going to a monitor, the console wont detect that its plugged in to *anything* and refuse to properly send video out.

You'd need to capture it with the adapter, use software to set up a live stream, and then simultaneously use whatever software you'd need to view that live stream all on the laptop. I doubt any of the software is going to give 1:1 realtime playback, thats a huge resource burden for no practical purpose, as you dont need to be displaying the video on the laptop to stream it offsite or record it. Those devices are meant to capture the video feed en-route to the display in order to record or broadcast it. Click to expand.My gut says what you want to do just isnt feasible.
