video output: why component OR composite?

[konton]

So I finally got a Marshall monitor to be able to use the component out to view what I'm shooting on a large high-def screen. Works great. The noga arm is perfect to hold it.

Today, my $30 wireless kit arrived for I can output from the composite connection wirelessly to a monitor. Also works great. I can walk all the way to the backyard with this baby and the signal is still okay. Not great, but okay.

The only problem is you can't do both at once! Why not? I'd like to be able to use both the external monitor and the wireless system at the same time! Can anyone help?

Well...simply...you can't...

You can only do one output at a time, by one I mean either (composite, s-video) or component. S-video and composite should work at the same time though.

Point taken. A sad but acceptable response. I guess when I want to do both it's S-video to the msrshall and composite to the wireless. Then when I want hi-def it's component only to the marshall. Lame.
