There were several of these types of monitors.  Mitsubishi had a few 
DiamondScan models that had RGB BNC connectors, as well as TTL and 
analogue connections--and there were a few switches on the rear of 
the unit to select what was what, along with different adapter 
cables.

I still have one that I use with a PAL VHS VCR and a decoder to watch 
my old tapes of the Edinburgh Tattoo...
