I just found a command for ivtv to enable low-overhead passthrough directly on the card:<br>

So if the projector has an svideo input, that's how you could do it, just have the svideo<br>
output of the pvr go to the projector, and use that passthrough command pass the video.<br>
<br>
But if you're running an svideo cable all the way up to the projector anyway, why not just<br>
plug the game console into that directly? I can only assume that you don't have an svideo<br>
input on the projector, or you would have just used that from the get-go instead of an<br>
svideo converter.<br>
