    <p>It's an intercept module that goes between the computer's video
      output and the monitor's video input. It snoops on the stream of
      video data going to the monitor, re-encodes it, and streams it
      over its data output connection to a host computer. The host
      doesn't need to be the computer that is generating the video data,
      so in JF's situation he could record a high-quality video of the
      Ventoy boot up process using a completely separate computer.</p>
    <p>I think that the little iCan device might work, although since it
      doesn't seem to have a video pass-through connector JF would have
      to use the video data stream going to the computer doing the
      recording as the "monitor", rather than an actual physical
      monitor.<br>

      <br>
      That is, we're capturing output to HDMI "screen".

          HDMI output port. This is to do screen snapshots and video
          capture for demonstrations. I realized I will not be able to
          demonstrate Ventoy running while booting, unless I convert a
          physical USB device to an ISO file and try (!) to use it
          within a VM. But if I can capture the output from an external
          device, I will be able to save it for future, but also for
          live demo of about anything I want to show.

          Any good or bad experiences with such devices under Linux ? I
          did a quick Google search and it looks like there are several
          devices, actually too many options to be able to properly
          select.

          My requirements are:
          <br>
          <br>
          - Must run with Linux
          <br>
          - Need to be an external device
          <br>
          - Need to connect on USB 3
          <br>
          - Need an output port to connect to a monitor
          <br>
          <br>
          Thanks :-)
