Watching live VR with Z4XL?

There are many ways to see live 360 video from the Z4XL.
Method 1:
Connect the 4 HDMI ports to a 4-port HDMI capture card on a PC (like this one), and then you can run software like Vahana by VideoStitch, or with Stereostitch. With Vahana you can have live monitor with an oculus rift or HTC Vive, with Stereostitch you can even direct watching wirelessly with a Samsung GearVR.
Method 1b:
For simplicity and portability, we can go with this device on a gaming laptop via a USB3 connection. You can get two of them for connecting 4 camera for the best result, or just connecting to two of them (an opposing pair) and still able to see in 360 when the cam were set to 2432p mode. With just two cam you may not have good stitching quality at the edge, but quite handy for monitoring on location.
Method 2:
Get a smart device like the Teradek Sphere, connect all the HDMI ports to it and it can stitch and view live 360 on an ipad, or stream with a mac
