That looks like an EIAJ A/V connector. I've never seen one used for RGB video before. They were originally used for 2-way composite video + monophonic audio connection between a TV/monitor and an early tuner-less VTR/VCR back in the late 60's-70's. It made for a nice single wire connection so the TV could play the VTR's signal, and the VTR could record from the TV tuner....It is a shame they did not add 4 more pins for stereo to the original spec...If they had it probably would have lasted to the end of analog.
