- I tried "setmon ntsc" on my XS24 and looked at the video output on an
- oscilloscope. It sure looked like properly-timed NTSC, within the
- measurement accuracy of the 'scope. All three of RGB have embedded sync.
- So it *looks* like you could connect this directly to a video recorder
- with RGB inputs, such as the Sony LVR-5000 or LVR-3000 write-once videodisc.
- Has anyone actually tried this?
-
- A smaller issue: Does anyone know of a source of reasonably-priced
- video cables to do this? They'd need a 13W3 connector on one end
- and BNC RGB connectors on the other end. And how should the other
- pins on the 13W3 be connected when there isn't a monitor on the far end?
