It should work - we use a short passive DVI-HDMI cable to capture the  
local 1920x1080 desktop and it works fine.

The only catch I've seen - not specific to these particular cameras -  
is that with unrestrained bandwidth at full 1080i60 resolution, other  
vics in the same venue can be crashed. That can be mitigated by having  
vic resize to 920, 720 etc. - its somewhat workable but ultimately  
unsatisfactory.

There was a similar problem with 1080i50 but that seems to have been  
fixed in the latest vic svn by setting a particular buffer to a larger  
size. We've tried setting it to something even larger to deal with  
1080i60 but it hasn't worked i.e. that issue remains unresolved.
