DUAL screens ON A PLAYSTATION 2

At the Revision 2013 demoparty held last weekend, visitors as well as guests wanting to inspect out the most recent advances in programming old video game consoles got a genuine treat. [Abyss] took a Playstation 2, linked the composite video out port to a TV as well as an oscilloscope, as well as produced the very first double screen PS2.

From the official video of the demo, the two video signals are produced from a single video out on the PS2. Generating the composite video out is understandably relatively easy, however the second screen – an oscilloscope – is driven during the Vblank period in the composite signal. There’s no audio trickery here; video signals are utilized for video, as well as audio signals are utilized for audio.

[Abyss] took very first location in the wild demo competition at Revision 2013. Understandably, too, since this is one of the very best demos we’ve ever seen. You can inspect out the official video from [Abyss] after the break, as well as the wild competition video after the break.
