HDMI input

[Mindplay]

Hi there all I am wanting to input an hdmi feed into my laptop. This being an xbox elite into my laptop.

Please tell me this is possble.

I have the AR21S model.

I also got told its just a case of inputing the cable and the computer would do the rest??

Hi Mindplay and welcome.

No - you cannot input HDMI into your Vaio. The HDMI slot is an output only.

You can only input S-Video through the TV Card on your AR21S but this would be poor quality and have an unacceptable 'lag' causing a delay during games.

I don't think this will change as Copy Protection and DRM/HDCP measures on all modern equipment will prevent any machine-to-machine connections that could be used to copy HD content. Domestic HDMI is designed to be connected directly to a HDCP display only.

Thanks... now I am extremely happy that i went out and brought this silly elite console.
