There is another solution :-)
It would be possible to create custom vfo files such that the output to
video would produce copmlimentary fields in a stereo display. You would
then just genlock them and T the connectors together. The timing
shouldn't be that big an issue given that you have different fields from
each pipe. This should produce passable results although the sync
information would be boosted. Hopefully the analog output would match
sufficiently for your purposes, you have a LUT there to help tune this.
Cheers,Angus.

"One of the best-known folk theorems of software engineering is that
60% to 75% of conventional software projects are either never
completed or rejected by their intended users. If that range is
anywhere near true (and I've never met a manager of any experience
who disputes it) then more projects than not are being aimed at goals
which are either (a) not realistically attainable, or (b) just plain
wrong."
