Recording a Computer Monitor or Plasma/LCD Television at DVinfo.net

I'm looking to shoot a training DVD where the talent will be doing a handful of pieces to camera followed by a series of demonstrations on a computer.

I'll have a couple of A1s at hand, so I thought about locking off one of the cameras focused solely on the monitor or Plasma/LCD television and me operating the other A1 on the talent.

Is there a way I can feed the computer video output directly to the A1, rather than me having to frame the monitor/TV?

I intend to film this in 1080x50i HDV, though may need to consider the computer video output if I can feed the computer video output directly to the A1.

My final delivery will be SD DVD.

TIA
Neil
