Further searching tells that it's officially called a Video Input
Port. Most of the documentation I found suggests that it's built into
the CPU, but some other suggest that it's handled by the companion
chip, which would mean that a GX2 could make use of it too.

FYI, at least one OEM published some sample sources for using the VIP:
