Here is the kind of scrambled video I get when I feed in video from my B&K, my color bar generator, or even my dvd player into the grid of the video output tube. I can't sync anything. I'm just feeding this in with bare leads. Should there be a coupling cap, a diode (since this is past the video detector diode) or anything else needed to properly couple the signal to the tv?

I can't even tell if there is even a video image to pull from this. I just simply go from a flat grey raster to this mess when I feed anything in. Adjusting the output levels on the B&K does nothing but fade to picture to snow.
