Can you use this to stream from a camcorder to laptop I want to use my camcorder as my webcam but my laptop does not have the hdmi port.

This device with the use of you USB2/3 port will creat an HDMI port. The TV via HDMI you attach it to will become a second monitor on your PC.

Only way I could see to accomplish this would be to plug it into hdmi out into a capture card on a PC, and stream from that. But, I'm not sure if that mode can be used for live video or just playback.

There are several options for turning your camcorder into a web cam...none are easy, most are not cheap, and all produce lower quality than just recording and transferring.

I believe you could change the settings on your laptop to run the video through the HDMI but the audio through the laptop's speakers. EDIT 1: I just tried it out myself on a Windows 8 laptop and I was able to switch audio output from the projector to the laptop seamlessly.

Hi Lou,I agree with Jeremy's response. I would like to add that it all depends on what your laptop has as well. The great thing about HDMI is that a single cable will give you both the audio and video. VGA will work just fine too (it's what I use) but just remember a separate stereo cable will be needed from PC to TV for sound.

no, you would need an usb to hdmi adapter I assume. As it is it has usb ports only

yes you can, make sure your laptop connection isnt a HDMI mini though. Some are but its easily fixed by getting an adapter. but Yes the cable is capable of this.

You shouldn't.... Was able to hook it up to TV with HDMI cable and use it as another monitor without changing the power supply. A webcam wouldn't be much of a power draw.

Can this be used to hook up a laptop computer? (I have a laptop that works but with a broken monitor. I'm thinking this might be a passable -- I don't have high hopes for "great," but it might be passable -- solution until I can get the laptop fixed?Could I either connect this with a standard monitor plug or with one of my laptop's USB ports?Thanks.

You can, but you should be sure that the port on your laptop is a video OUT and not video IN. Check your manufacturer specs to be sure.

Yes and No. The Veho has an HDMI interface. Even if your computer has an HDMI port, that port would only be an output, and the Veho would require an input, which most computers made today do not have. You could purchase an HDMI capture device that the Camcorder would plug into, but they are expensive. So, yes you could use it for a webcam by spending more money, but there are $40 HD webcams that would be far better suited for this purpose and they are USB plug and play. The Veho also has RCA A/V out if I remember correctly. Through the use of a USB/RCA capture device, like the Pinnacle Dazzle for example, you could use the Veho as a live webcam , but again, such devices are $40-$80 and are not easy to use. A cheap HD webcam would give you better footage for less money. If you are going to purchase the Veho just to use it for a webcam, there are way better options for you out there, and cheaper too!

No it cannot serve as a webcam. The USB port is read only and the HDMI and AV ports connect only to a TV for playback.

This is a USB to HDMI adaptor and I have a windows 7 laptop. I am not sure if your laptop has an HDMI port. I bought this device for my projector and laptop use. It works fine for me.

I do not believe it can be use for HDMI recording. I have had this for about a year and been just using it with my VCR to convert tapes over to DVD, Blu-ray or even just storing them on my computer. I have been using the white, red and yellow cables along with a usb grabber to get the video to my computer. Sorry for not having a good answer on the HDMI recording.

this post is way old. but Yes I connect my laptop to this tv through hdmi cord. it is amazing.can stream anything to the tv, videos, internet, so on.

No, it is normally used to connect to the s-video and headphone jack output of a laptop to the composite videoaudio input on a TV or VCR. It might be usable to connect your camcorder to a TV if your camcorder has s-video andand a matching audio out jacks.

personally i haven't tried that but i would say yes, however, the different parts (webcam, hdmi port, etc) may have or not the appropiate drivers, so my advice is go and try, the plus in this approach is that you may learn something new.
