BNC to VGA or HDMI

[Catsrules]

I have some proprietary camera equipment, the camera configuration controller connects to a screen via BNC. The screen is dying and I am looking for a replacement.

 

The BNC is a single connector going to the monitor. Because monitors with BNC connections are so scarce I thought I might be better off just finding an BNC adapter to HDMI or VGA and just use standard monitor.

 

I found this on newegg

However it is 5 BNC connections to VGA, I am guessing that is not what I am looking for as I only have 1 BNC connector. Does that sound about right?

 

I did find this guy

That looks like what I really want but I am a little bit disappointed because it needs to be powered. Not that it is a complete deal killer. I might just need a active device to convert the signals around.

BNC is just coax with a stronger connector. Get a $0.50 BNC to coax adapter and then optionally a normal Coax converter

What camera? What output format? Is it s-video , composite, SDI, RF (like you plug straight into analogue TV) ?

I don't know what output format it is using is there an easy way to figure it out? My guess would be composite or S-Video. It isn't RF because the monitor is not a TV as it doesn't have a tuner. The monitor is just a normal LCD monitor, it just happens to have a BNC connector on the back as well. The input is called AV1 so my guess would be composite. 

 

It is a proprietary robot camera for recording pipelines. I could just buy a new monitor from the company but they are very expensive.

Try something like this : https://www.amazon.com/eSynic-S-Video-Converter-Computer-Monitor/dp/B071HPG793/

Make sure your LCD monitor still has a vga input.

 

IF it doesn't work, I guess you could return it... or just throw it, it's 25$ ... not that expensive.

Sounds like a plan to me.

 

Thanks for you help.
