A thought occurs to me: there is a piece of video
test gear called a
Vectorscope - used to determine the proper alignment of the TV color
A 'vectorscope' has nothing to do with a vector display. A vectorscope is
a device used to display the amplitude and phase of a waveform, often the
colour part of a video signal.
A normal oscilloscope, in XY mode, is almost the same thing as a vector
display, and is much more likely to be what you need.... And yes, then,
DACs to feed the X,Y and Z (intensity) inputs are basically what you need.
