Hi Gene, The HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter is an output not an input device. For importing HDMI via thunderbolt, check out some of the blackmagic products, like https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/products
There are external cards like the BlackMagic Intensity line, or their complex Ultra Studio 4k, and even the Terranex processor. You're looking at around $350 to start up to $2000 but that's what it costs to capture HMDI via Thunderbolt, not a $30 output converter.
