That set is in fact made for use with the home computers of the early 1980's. The separate luma and chroma signals on two RCA connectors was available as an output from the Commodore 64 computer, and possibly the Atari 400/800 as well. Yes, it is the same signal later called S-video. The Apple II had composite color NTSC output.

What is especially interesting is that it has looping inputs (the two RCA connectors for each signal type), along with the required switchable 75-ohm termination switches. These allow this monitor to be in a chain of two or more displays fed from one computer or other video source.

Sync is part of the Luma signal with this TV, the same as with regular S-video.
