Red is on 3, Green is on 4, Blue is on 5, and Grounds are on 16 through 20. Wire on 75ohm resistor from Red to Ground, one from Green to Ground, and one from Blue to Ground. I once made up a custom, adjustable terminator for a guy who wanted his RGB-viewed colors to match his NTSC-viewed colors. Rather than use a 75ohm resistor for each color, I substituted a fixed resistor (51ohms) in series with a potiometer (50 or 100ohms) to allow tweaking the colors to match. You end up with, say, one terminator being 70ohm, one at 80, and one at 85. It worked great. You 1084 will scan at 15.7kHz only. Its forte is the ability to display composite, Y/C, and component video signals. You can literally find 31kHz monitors anywhere these days, cheap too. With your built-in de-interlacer/scan doubler, you should be able to get by without any 15kHz RGB monitor, which are getting hard to come by. If you want to cover your bases, use the 1084 as your Toaster Preview monitor, keeping it cabled to both your RGB port and the Preview BNC. With a push of a button, you will be able to switch back and forth. The 1084 also takes care of the termination problem.
