At the risk of continuing to underestimate that project, I will point out
that it appears to relate to video *input* signals, not video output as
the OP asks for.  He wants something that magically takes the output of 
his computer (can't really be done the way he hopes) and sends it to 
someone else.  

VNC is the way to go...
