 I have never seen anything like this. While it is easy enough
to join two or three signals ( Software Integrators and Mirage,
the makers of Fixed Frequency Video Cards for PC's used to
do it by soldering a couple of resistors on the back of their
video cards, one from H to green, and the other from V to green,
taking care of sync type, while frequency timings were still taken
care of in their customized video bios's ), it would be way beyond
my ( practical only, and limited at that ) level of knowledge
to know how to strip the sync signals off the green line, and
individually separating them at that, to properly make that signal
into a separate sync video signal.


                          Sincerely,

                           Bennett
