[PSUBS-MAILIST] Virtual Viewports

Sat Jan 16 20:04:08 EST 2016

Doug, the issue I have is I don't have a lot of room to mount a second
display.  If possible I would like a real time display of three cameras to
come through the exiting HMI. As I know nothing about video cameras, I was
hoping to see what type if equipment others were using.  I would not have a
problem packaging for subsea but would like the cameras as small as
possible.

If you and your dad nail down a system for Snoopy, let me know what you
come up with.  I am early days on this.
