75 Ohm Terminators why?

They original built broadcast equipment without terminators and with 2 jacks so they could daisy chain multiple monitors. If you were to plug a second monitor or a VCR with internal termination into the other port it would also work as good as a terminator.
Later makers got fancy and started making them with switchable internal termination.

Yes, the monitor I'm talking about is an Ikegami from ~2000, and it has the 2 jack design for daisy chaining. They are just empty right now, but I have the terminators coming in the mail. I don't have a VTR with RGB I/O, so there's no way for me to do that. I'm not even sure if there were any VTRs that did have RGB I/O
