Easy - data on what you see on the screen. Say a picture of an extruder with
Temp and pressure on the screen. VT100 was black and white so the picture
replaced the black background. A modern security camera with a sync input
would probably work. Its good old 1v/75R Video. There's even a 50Hz option
in the setup.
Thirty five odd years and nobody has ever mentioned that one.

There were (still are) two BNC connectors on the back
of the VT100.
One was video out which I used with the camera sync input and the other is
video in. This locked the picture to the data video.
