Does any one know how these work? Is it software based or hardware based?

most are software based, and good for general use, but not fast enough for movies or gaming.

I thought it would be software based, I think it must take a picture of the desktop and display it via hardware video out put. Kinda useless as you can't use it to watch movie's ect.
