Answers.Text: @A.J.Hernandez That's the setup we currently have - two cameras at either side and one at the back. However, two are fixed to the walls and can't be moved, and the angles with the current setup aren't great. It would be great to be able to move at least one anywhere in the venue to get better shots, although I think we'll have to settle for relocating the one on a tripod until the price of the technology drops.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-06-05)
  
  I would like to stream video from a camera through its HDMI output to a mixer.
  Extensive googling has only turned up solutions for streaming from PC's and phones onto a screen.
  
  What I need is a dongle that plugs into the HDMI output of the camera, and transmits the video to a reciever.
  
  The transmitter will need to be fairly small and not need mains power, as the point of having the wireless link is to be able to move the camera anywhere within a 30 meter range. The reciever can be any size and run off any power source.
  
  Does such a product exist? Can anyone suggest one that is no more than £200?
  
  EDIT:
  Based on the answers I've recieved, I'd like to add a few points to explain why I want this particular solution;
  
  * The venue is more or less circular, with a stage at the front, and
    about 400 seats, with four aisles between them. One camera is mounted
    to the wall on the right (when facing the stage), on the left of the
    far right aisle. The other is at the back, also mounted to the wall,
    and the third sits on a tripod on the right side of the room.
  * Usually this is fine, but the angles of the cameras are far from
    perfect, and usually microphone stands or peoples heads get in the
    way. Also, we often want to get much closer to the stage and show
    things up close.
  * We can't move a camera to the front of the venue near the stage as it
    would HAVE to be in the front row of seats (reasons are complicated,
