Digital Video Picture Monitoring / Vision Split - Using Ipad / IPhone / Smart Phones

I have been waiting for someone to design and release a transmitter box that attaches to a Digital Video camera's video output and sends the picture signal to either an Ipad, Iphone or any Smart Phone App, so I can set-up a shot, sit down and interview someone while keeping an eye on the framing.

Does anyone know if this technology has been developed yet, and where I can find more out about the specs and costs?

Regards,

If you happen to be shooting on a 5dMkii - you can use the Canon EOS utilities and your MacBook to monitor the camera "LIVE VIEW" feed via either USB cable and/or iPhone iPad.

But it's done via the Canon software talking to the Camera - so it's not a solution for other cameras.

Also the App "DSLR Remote" does the same thing via wifi. But again, only with Canon DSLRs.

FWIW.
