These monitors have a TTL RGB input, so are directly compatible with the BBC. If you're going into a Scart, don't forget that you need to resistors in series with each signal, as the Scart input will be expecting a smaller voltage.
(I have removed part of mhennessy's post, hopefully without changing the sense).

Not all Microvitec Cubs have TTL RGB inputs. There was a composite PAL version (I think the input on that was a BNC socket). And you could set internal links on the TTL RGB model for analogue RGB inputs. There may have been other versions too.

If the input connector is a 6 pin DIN socket (like the RGB socket on the BBC Micro) then most likely the Cub can be set for TTL RGB and you need a straight-wired 6 pin DIN to 6 pin DIN cable to connect it.
