[rec.video] 8-Pin Connector

sft@ihlpa.ATT.COM (Scott Thompson) (04/10/88)

I am interested in connecting the digital or analog, preferably analog,
RGB output of my Amiga computer to a particular monitor.  Currently I am
using the computer's composite video output, but this does not produce
the greatest results.  The monitor is part of a Sony editing setup, ie:
it has the 8-pin connector that is found on U-matic video recorders.  My
question is does this 8-pin connector accept RGB and if it does which
pins do I use?  Analog?  Digital?  HELP!

As the answer to this question is not a burning issue on the net, please
respond via e-mail.

It does not accept RGB. pins 1 and 2 are audio and composite video in
respectively, pins 5 & 6 are ground.
