[PD] GEM camera angle-of-view >180deg

ok, i now can give some answers myself:

The camera in GEM is an "ideal" camera, which has no angle, but only a size.
So it is technically not possible to get more than 180 degrees.

The same result can be achieved by rotating the content.

So, my new multi-camera approach is as follows:
I connect my content to three framebuffers (At the second one, 
everything gets rotated by 120deg, and at the third one by 220 deg). 
Then I stitch these three parts together to one continuous video using 
Extended View Toolkit.

My new question:
Isn't there some easy way to do the same thing?
