Wireless Spectator View
Is there any way to make a wireless spectator view?
That is, the camera broadcasts the video to the computer without a wire and a capture card. For now I use Canon Mark 3 and blackmagic shuttle usb 3.0 capture card and it works, but I'm looking for an wireless solution.

Without a capture card, the lag would make the experience unusable. Remember, the whole point of spectator view is really to get high resolution video from a camera so you can composite it with a hololens app's virtual experience. I've tried this with even a middling capture card, and it wasn't good enough.
If you are willing to go down dramatically in quality and are interested in a 3rd persp view rather than high rez, you can always just pull the MRC from a shared app using the low latency component.
