The text editor use case is much easier, as there's nothing to decode first, and not much to encode then, even if you type fast!

I will try this and get back to you. I'll use some random DivX, a similar adapter and plug this to a Full HD TV similar to what you're likely to find in hotels.

Kind regards,

Thank you for taking the time to try it out. I'm looking forward for the results.
