Milo, you have it exactly. The USB on the camera is for download only. For real-time monitoring I need the video-out socket and I'm sure it is composite video, ie the non-camera plug is yellow. I have a composite-to-scart adaptor which I've used ok with my TV.
Thankyou, I know what I should be looking for now. And thanks for the links, interesting items with many possibilities and reasonably priced.
