Hi,
I've been hoping to try some genlocking. I have an old MG-25 but when I went to hook it up I noticed that the "RGB port" connection is DB15, not DB9 or 23-pin. Do I need a particula cable for this or will it work with a plain old VGA-adapter. If not, does anyone know if an apropriate cable can be found somewhere?

I also have a VES-two (video effect system) which has a 15-pin gameport-style connector for the RGB port.. Really a bit of confusing. Are these ports something special? Did the devices come with special cables? I'm a bit sad at not being able to get this up and running.
