Makes it easy to connect a large HDMI cable to a camcorder like the Canon Vixia. You can buy extra long HDMI cables and use them with your camcorder to connect to something like the AverMedia ExtremeCap and record for live streaming. Update: One of mine showed a loose connection on the mini HDMI end so I contacted CableCreation and they quickly sent me a replacement which solved my problem. Great customer service!
