Alex:

In your original post from yesterday, you asked about connection 
between a DuoDock and an AppleVision 750AV monitor.  In this case, 
there is probably no need for general "googling."  If you had looked 
through <http://www.everymac.com>, as I suggested, you would have found 
that the DuoDock has a DB-15 port, and the AppleVision 750AV monitor 
comes with a DB-15 cable.  For direct connection you already have a 
match, with no need for any of the fancy adapter, as listed in the old 
Apple Tech Info Library document, which you quoted indirectly from the 
University of Melbourne website.

The Apple AV-series monitors do have unique audio-visual capabilities, 
that require special adapters.  Over the years I worked with a Quadra 
660AV, a Quadra 840AV, and a Power Macintosh 7600, connected to several 
AV monitors.  But I do not believe that either your Duo or the Dock can 
take advantage of the AV features.  Sometimes we may make too much of a 
simple situation.
