Laptop video output into another laptop - what options?

[vjair]

id like to feed the video output of one laptop into another laptop. if possible id like to use VGA or HDMI as the output ( or maybe LAN ? ).

the laptop which will be having the signal fed into it has an Expresscard slot as well as the usual FW and USB.

any thoughts?

thanks.

Hire a Hippo

[vjair]

the aim of this is to make a small portable system that allows me to use vga to connect to projectors, so a Hippo is not the solution - otherwise id just use the v440 and Addcit servers i have access too

[SteveG]

The hippo portamus is a laptop can't think of a more portable solution.

[vjair]

are you a hippotiser reseller now or something

[SteveG]

Nah! just a fan boy Well you asked for a solution....I've given you one, can't do any more than that..... a reliable one at that.

PS: I'm yet to test this out; I have a couple of new (second hand) machines at home now that I could do some tests on... Need to (re-)install an OS first.

yeah this is my first option except ive just realised that win 7 doesnt allow networking via FW ( i have win7 aand win XP laptops ) and i dont have a crossover cable for the lan port and the stupid shops have just shut until monday....grrrr

otherwise im thinking of looking at the blackmagic intensity shuttle ( costs about 1/3 of the mx02 )

didn't gary have a blackmagic input card for sale? i think it was HDMI..?
