We have a need to record video images off the console of a 9000/330.  What
we are doing is to "collect", as perhaps in frame-grabber mode, what users
are doing on the target machine (we work for the Army, so there's no
security/secrecy/snooping problem on this), and store it to another machine
for later "analysis".  I'm just a software engineer, so I don't question
the whys and what-are-you-going-to-do-with-its.

We'd like to restrict impact on the target machine (actually they said "no
impact at all"), so it becomes difficult to deal with the video map.  We
may have to do that, but I was hoping there might be a way to physically
tap the RGB signals, run them to another box somewhere, and recreate the
video map for frame-grabbing purposes.

Anybody have any ideas?  (I don't, so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't
either!)

Thanks much.
