BB as man-in-the-middle USB Cam Device

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it would be theoretically possible to use BB as man-in-the-middle device for USB Webcam(s).

Basic idea is: BB is connected to host computer and emulates web cam while actual web cam(s) are connected to BB. Video feed is then forwarded via emulated device to host.

Thanks

The vlc or ffserver may be you friends. But this implies a USB to LAN
conversion.

You'll have to setup webcam USB gadget, so BB will be visible to the
host computer as a webcam.
I never tried it myself, but after short googling I found the
following pages, which may be helpful:
