Nope... These are VGX/VGXT SGI Crimsons.  They are SOG, but there is 
an option to do a seperate Alpha as well.  My RE crimson has a 13W3 
Connector on it so I can't look at one right now but if I recall 
correctly the fourth bnc is alpha.  I think it has something to do 
with output to tape perhaps.
