Hello Performers,

I am trying with no luck to write a Performer program which renders
directly to the video output on an O2. The idea is to use a
videoprojector on the videoout jack for graphics and to have a GUI on
the monitor at the same time. I already had a look at some O2-video
examples but none demonstrates quite what I want to accomplish:

/usr/share/src/dmedia/video/O2/clock renders to videoout but it uses
YCrCb colorspace which I cannot use.
/usr/share/src/dmedia/video/O2/fieldblend renders simultaneously using
RGB color to a window and to videoout but it only works as long as the
window is visible on the screen.

Taking dmedia, it seems that I have to render into a pbuffer which is
associated to a dmbuffer and then somehow convert RGB to YCrCb and send
it to videoout.

Do you have any idea what exactly I have to do or where I can find any
examples that demonstrate how to render offscreen in RGB to videoout on
an O2?

Thank you,
Raimo Ihle.
