A few weeks ago, I asked the following question ...

> I would like to capture the screen contents on video. I have noticed there
> is a video out rgb connector on this monitor (type VRT19-HA), but DEC-Belgium
> seems unable (unwilling) to help me about the signals coming out of that
> port. Can anyone tell me more about it, or provide an alternative solution
> to this problem?

I got the following answers :

From: Simon <censjg_at_caledonia.hw.ac.uk>

> The BNC's are linked to the video in so you can chain a coupe of monitors
> together. There's a switch inside the video out ones which I think changes
> the electrical (75 Ohm?) termination.
> So if your capture device can handle the computer's video signals directly
> you should be able to use the connections.

From: olle_at_cb.uu.se (Olle Eriksson)

> Video out is not a TV-standard video signal, it is just a repettion of the
> signal that comes from the display card, i. e. unusable for ordinary video
> machines. If you want to capture video you need a card that can produce
> video-out, for Turbo Channel machines this is the J300 multimediacard.
