Haven't seen that card before, but it can't be a typical LC PDS video card, there's no graphics chip and supporting circuitry. It's got to simply re-route video from somewhere else, and that connector on the card looks like the same type that connects things like the MPEG-2 hardware decoder Apple made for some of the LC series to the AV circuitry in some of those systems... makes me wonder if this was simply designed for schools so certain LC Macs could simply hardware mirror internal video (for an all-in-one LC design) to an external monitor, such as a projector, so a presentation could be made or a class demonstration made.
