Video sender

[marameox]

Hi,
i'd like to use my Raspberry as audio/video sender trough my cable home internet network.
I'd like to use one Raspberry with usb interface with composite video input that send video and another Raspberry with installed Kodi to view original video.
Is possible to do this?

You will need to find a USB Video Input Device, the SKT1160 based EasyCap appear usable:

This blog is a little out of date so may need to experiment:

This may give some pointers to Streaming Video over Network:

One Easycap I tried does indeed "work out of the box", but it doesn't work well. In particular it doesn't deliver 25 frame per second motion video. It can capture stills, or get slow QVGA video.

To get smooth motion video you will need a video compression device. Some (expensive) webcams have H264 compression built in. Standard (cheap) webcams and USB capture devices will be slow because Pi USB2 ports can't deliver the data fast enough (at least last time I tried).
