Hi
I think what he wants is a setup similar to commercial video conferencing
setups in which there is one or two tvs to monitor the audio/video conference.
As far as I know we don't have such hardware for FreeBSD nor a driver
for it . This does not mean that we can't support it or support
it until we know the hardware device.
The model that I am seeing here is one in which a hardware codec
has the capability of NTSC or PAL output in addition to vga or
digital output.
Hope that I make sense,
Amancio
