That BeagleBone Black is also for outputting things via the HDMI2USB -
the second input. Non-critical, but nice for:
* Putting up X minutes remaining warnings on the confidence monitor
* Displaying now and next information on the projector between talks
* Playing a stream, broadcast from another room.

If there was a way of slinging the odd JPEG (or MJPEG stream, for the
room-repeat use-case) at the HDMI2USB, then the BBB could be dropped entirely.

Gigabit Ethernet is full-duplex, so I can't see why we couldn't do some type of incoming stream (even pretty high bandwidth) without effecting the output in any way.
