Summary: composite negative analog TTL video RGB scan sync

As you may know from a previous posting of mine, I am in the process
of evaluating color monitors for the Amiga.  I want better text definition,
and that means going to a monitor with higher resolution and/or dot pitch.

I've called up all the major monitor manufacturers (Amdek, NEC, PGS, Sony,
and Taxan), and should be getting information in the mail soon.  If there's
interest, I'll post a summary when I finally figure out what is usable with
the Amiga and what is not.

I've already gotten information from PGS and Taxan, and I'm not sure what
is usable.  For example, Princeton Graphics Systems' top of the line
monitor is the SR-12P.  This monitor is designed to be compatable with
the IBM Professional Color Graphics adaptor.  Here's the specs:

	Monitor:	Princeton Graphics Systems SR-12P
	Input:		Analog video .6vp-p RGB positive, negative TTL,
			composite sync
	Resolution:	640x480 (non-interlaced)
	Colors:		4096
	Bandwidth:	30 MHz
	Scan Freq:	Horizontal 30.48 KHz, Vertical 60 Hz
	Inp connector:	9 pin (DB9)
	Price:		Sugg retail $999, I have seen it for $600 mail order

I have no idea if this is useable or not.  Where I work, we have a
Masscomp RGB monitor (1024x1024 256 colors).  It has exactly four coax
inputs: Red, Green, Blue, and Sync.  Why would you need nine?

Does anyone have any idea whether this would be compatable?  Can you
give me some technical info on what kind of video out the Amiga produces?
Can it generate output for a standard TV set?

Thanks for listening,

Sean
