Thanks for your reply, but I think we have miscommunicated. Here's a
better explanation from the man page of vout:
The IRIS RealityEngine provides two video outputs: a RGB
video output (which is normally connected to the graphics
monitor), and a composite video output. vout provides an
easy-to-use graphical interface to control the composite
output. It also controls several parameters of the RGB video
output.
The composite output is available at the BNC connector labeled
`composite', and at the S-Video connector.
I was referring to the video composite output that goes to the S-Video
connector, rather than the RGB output to the monitor. The composite
output is usually a 646 x 486 portion of the RGB output, if NTSC format
is chosen for the composite signal. So the offsets that I referred to
in my previous note are offsets within the larger RGB output image to
the smaller composite output image.
A note at the bottom of the vout man page says:
The composite output may not be genlocked.
And according to the setmon man page:
The setmon command does not control the composite output of
RealityEngine, which is controlled by the vout command.
I tried out your suggestion with setmon, but the man pages appear to be
correct.
Eric
