Hi,
I have the same question; and to avoid unhelpful questions like the ones by WR2 (which looks to be an IT expert, but doesn't answer any question, so WR2 please don't answer, thanks), I explain what I have, and what I need:
I have a Sony HDR-CX190E Camcorder, with HDMI and AV output, a Toshiba Satellite L650, and a Samsung Galaxy SIII, 3G connection with unlimited data, speed up to 14bps (take as 10bps, as the connection never reach this limit).
I wish to stream live using the HDMI, possibly directly to the Phone, using the Google+ Hangout (connected to youtube), instead of the laptop, for a simple reason: I'm a freelance reporter, (non professional, but with high standard of quality), and often happen to report outdoor events , that makes me uneasy to use a laptop (unless a small notebook).
I already tried to connect the camcorder to the laptop, via the AV out port, (with a AV to usb video grabber, that is quite cheap) for a conference, where I could plug the pc charger to the power socket) and the report was almost good, and I checked it, while recording, both on the same pc, and in my ipad. I was able to watch the stream on my website (that is connected to my youtube channel) and it was ok.
Apart the fact that I had to plug the pc power to the socket (not a big deal with a full charged battery, but a big problem for long time recording, and if I'm outdoor, and I can't obviously use a socket, and the pc weight is self a problem, as same as the space needed), the two problems where the audio quality, as the audio was repeatedly delayed, probably self for the connection, or probably for the low quality of the grabber, and the video quality, that on camera is excellent, and on the youtube channel is poor.
So, I wish to connect the camera to the Samsung using the HDMI out port to the micro USB of the phone.
Somebody could answer that I could connect directly is using a small adapter, that I can find easily for cheap at any electronics store. The problem is that Android doesn't recognize the camera, and it looks that it doesn't exist any software compatible with android,that can solve this problem.
The second option could be, indeed, to buy a small notebook with HDMI adaptor (HDMI out from the cam, to the USB port of the pc), or to buy an external video capture card (similar to the ones that are on sell in Livestream, as Procaster).
Of course at moment I wish to avoid this option, that's quite expensive (£200 or more, at least) and to opt for something cheaper. I'm looking for an adapter as HDMI out to Micro USB or simple USB. What I find in the shops and online is exactly the opposite. (USB out to HDMI in, that's for me is useless).
Thanks for attention.
