That monitor used an interface cable between the analog port on the
back of the monitor and the video board you were using. The reason
for the interface cable was for if you were using Mac or VGA signals.
The monitor can use just a standard VGA board.  The company I used to
work for had a bin full of the various interface cables as they
actually sent two with every monitor. So possibly other computer
places still have some.

The RGB inputs were meant for a high end video board, that at the
time put out the info in RGB seperate cables.

The video connector would take in standard 1 Vp.p video signals like
from a VCR, Video camera (Security cameras0,etc.)
