N64 Digital RGB Project: Need Help

Could the digital RGB from the RCP (before it's sent to the DAC) be taken out as a digital RGB video signal? If so, what monitors would display it, excluding the use of converters?

In other words, is it possible to solders wires from the pins containing digital RGB data and get a video signal?
To be clearer, for example: video cards are found in PC's and video game consoles. Their cards all have a GPU and a RAMDAC. Digital RGB is the native color space out of all GPUs but then is converted to analog by the DAC for display (ex. VGA). Excluding the realm of DVI, my question is like, could the digital RGB from a PC's GPU be taken directly out, bypassing the DAC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For example:
What would be the horizontal scan frequency out of the GPU?
Would the digital RGB signal be interlaced or progressive?
Where can I find a N64 schematic?
