2) Video input isn't likely to be HD or anything... basically it's video-in from a microscope setup. More or less just to be able to see what's under the scope.
What's it got for video-out?
Old school. Composite or maybe S-video.

I think that's mini-VGA, and Composite/S-video with an adapter.

I used to have a little box for grabbing S-video over USB on a PPC. Can't recall the make/model...
You could take a shot with a generic PC video capture adapter (lots of them on Amazon) or an Elgato adapter and see whether macam will pick up the signal. Just get the thing from a place with a good return policy.
