[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1348332, member: 24098"] There are no adapters currently that allow a video feed into the Thunderbolt port. When it's acting purely as a MiniDisplayPort output, it's strictly an output. However, using Thunderbolt protocols, it's theoretically capable of acting as a bus connection for any type of peripheral, including a video input - but you would need some sort of a peripheral to bridge the gap. Those peripherals don't currently exist (yet), but they may in the future if there's enough demand for it. So the answer to your question is "no", but that may change in the distant future as new Thunderbolt peripherals are created. [/QUOTE]
