Hi Kian.

This is not all to difficult.

Look in the /usr/gfx directory for the ircombine program. You can use this
to configure an iR pipe to use the second channel to send video out via the
s-video or composite connectors on your frontpanel.

Just remember that it's not broadcast quality, and that if you dump fullscreen
to video you're doing a conversion which looses a bit a quality. The best is
to run your simulation in a window having the exact pixel size as the video
format you're using (either PAL or NTSC).

Also remember to configure your source channel to have a frequency (50hz) which
is a multiple of your video frequency. Otherwise you'll get a funny result.

Channel 0 configured to e.g. 1280x1024_50
Channel 1 to NTSC using Channel 0 as source channel

Unfortunately I cannot remember the details. We just sold our 'old' demo iR and
are waiting for the Onyx2 to arrive.
