Panning a tiled video back and forth?

    I have a video that tiles seamlessly ie. the left and right edges match up.
    I'd like to scroll the video from side to side, tiled - as the video scrolls off the screen to the right, it scrolls back on from the left.
    Ideally I'd like to modify this scrolling speed.
    I can kind of see how to do it using jit.matrix and some kind of ramp to keep it scrolling, but is there a better approach, possibly using some of the OpenGL acceleration?
    I imagine you could send two copies of the video to jit.gl.textures and have them appear on the same jit.window, and position the textures appropriately?
    Any thoughts?

      look into jit.rota, specifically the x_offset and y_offset commands. Use boundmodes 2 or 4 (2 for plain repeat, 4 for mirrored). Easy to control the rate using a counter, line, pattr, etc.
      No need for GL for this, but there's tons you could do there as well with textured gridshapes, videoplanes, etc... especially if you want to move beyond a normal flat video display.

      Or check out jit.scanoffset mode 1 then use a line, counter or whatever to control the offset.
