OT: Are these the correct BNC connectors for my PVM?
-
Sorry, I meant to ask Jay.

Our HVX does have RCA connectors which is why I was wondering in the first post if those BNC RCA connectors from monoprice are the correct ones to attach my component cables to the pvm without degradation. I guess I’m thinking of RCA as composite only but from what I see on the net, RCA can be composite or component, correct? According to Michael, a component cable with built in BNC is better than a component cable with RCA outs connected to BNC connectors to the PVM?

The component signal is made up of a grouping of three cables. It is not a composite signal. A composite signal is one cable. The RCA cables on the HVX are a component signal that have RCA connections on them. When using our HVX, we have those adapters that you speak of, plus BNC barrel connectors and a BNC component cable to connect to a monitor.
You will be fine with those connectors.

You should have received 3 RCA-BNC connectors with the camera. My HPX-500 and HPX-170 came with them.

Reminds me when the A/V guy at the hotel asked me what cable he needed for an SDI connection. He was confused when I told him BNC to BNC.

Now I need to decide on either an AJA, Matrox or other I/O device for my Macbook Pro edit suite. But that’s another thread…time to do my research first. Thank you everyone for your help. =)

Walter, are using these bnc cables better than bnc adaptors because of better picture quality or connectivity(or both)? Thanks for the clarification.
