Awwyea! I remember Crimsons well.

Downside? That 3 BNC is Sync on Green. I *think* some HD-DB-15 compatible
monitors will accept sync on green, but don't hold me to it.

Sam Goldwasser/Phils FAQ site might have a circuit to separate the sync on
green into composite sync which you could feed into the horiz / vert sync
on the HDDB15 connector going to your multisync PC monitor.
