How can I set viewfinder to video out from PSRemoteTest? The capability exists within the PSRemote GUI, but it is missing from the dll library interface.
In stand-alone mode the camera sends the viewfinder video to video out if a video cable is plugged in. However, as soon as you plug a USB cable in as well, the video-out signal stops until the PC software assigns it to video-out again. The PSRemote software has this feature via its GUI, but the PSRemoteTest interface does not, so it cannot be done remotely.

At the moment I need to use the PSRemote GUI to set it each time my system starts up, and this won't be feasible in my production system.
(I am using 2 Canon Powershot G7 cameras and the PSRemote multi camera version)

I'm sorry there is no function to set this from the interface library. I can't really justify the development effort to add this to the interface library as it's not a feature anyone has ever asked for before.

You may be able to do it using a script written using AutoIt.
