This looks great. To be useful in the datacenter environments I work in such a device would need VGA capture, though. Most servers don't have HDMI ports in my experience.

Anybody know of a good, cheap V4L2 USB-based VGA capture dongle?

Could always add another dongle with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKYBKGP maybe?

I've used one of these a couple of time and they work great, not yet hooked up into the HDMI cap device but can test if anyone is interested.
