Off-Topic but somehow related: I was thinking about to use my iDevices as generic HDMI-Displays.

The afaik best app for doing this is Duet Display [1], if you want to use Mac/Win. But I want to use it for a Raspberry Pi for example. Duet display streams the display information to the own application via ethernet over lightning port.

HDMI itself is also some network protocol (dangerous superficial knowledge). Theoretically it should be possible to build a small device, which translates hdmi video/audio to the same kind of network via lightning port as duet and display?

What do you think? Do you see any pitfalls there, which I don't see?
