send a matrix over a network connection?

I have a patch where I switch between a live output of the video camera and the playback of prerecorded films. Because max crashes due to overload, I am thinking to have the two functions on a separate computer. However, I will use only 1 screen to show the output. Can I send a matrix from one computer to another using udpsend/receive? I would use an ethernet cable

Think you want jit.net.send and receive (uses tcp/ip), udpsend is for OSC format udp packets as far as I know. Haven't tried sending video over net though so not sure of your best option.
