Ethan, the Amiga output is analog RGB, 75 ohm, 0.7 V peak. The syncs are TTL levels, negative going, at 15.75 KHz horizontal, 60 Hz vertical. You can either use the composite sync signal or the separate h and v syncs. If the monitor requires separate syncs, then the signals should be buffered. Redmond Cable can supply cables for most multisyncs. Redmond's nukKIM are: East coast (615) 478-5760, West coast (206) 882-2009. Commodore's monitors accept RGB or NTSC composite video. Composite video (not to be confused with composite sync) is not very useful as a computer display, but it is what comes out of a camera, VCR or genlock. If you are doing video work on the Amiga, it's often handy to have a monitor which can accept composite video as well as RGB. If you want a monitor that can take RGB at 15.75 KHz (Amiga output), RGB at 31.5 KHz (flicker fixer) and NTSC composite, then the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan (AUM-1381A) is the only one I know of. Peter.
