Two components:

2. decode the video data on the USB cable and display it on KT

Needed:
VGA to USB converter

If you need to install a software driver (component #1 above) on the host PC anyway, you might as well do it from video memory to USB and skip the VGA to USB converter. You could pass a remote framebuffer over wifi too. That is what VNC does (a version of component #2 above).

I can see an exception IF the VGA to USB conversion is done completely inside the VGA/USB converter (shown in the photo) with no device driver.
