[nicholasandnick]

Hi all

Just need some help on some connections to a dvd player.

I have just bought a broadcasting monitor and i need to hook it up to a DVD player, i have enclosed pictures of the back of the monitor and the DVD player. Can anyone please give me some advice on what leads and cables i need please.

Thank you very much

Nick

You need RCA/Phono to BNC cables (or adapters). Then connect the DVD player's Component video outputs (the red, green and blue connectors) to the "RGB/COMPONENT" inputs on the monitor. Green goes to "G/Y", red to "R/R-Y" and blue to "B/B-Y".

EDIT: just saw your image. Does your DVD player not have component outputs? If not, swap it for one that does!

If you need to use the player you pictured, then you'll need a single RCA/Phono to BNC cable and connect the yellow composite video output to either of the two "VIDEO IN" inputs on the monitor. It won't give you the same quality as Component, though.

Hi david

Do you mean something like this

Get one of these and attach it to the LINE A - VIDEO IN (or Line B if you want) on the monitor:

5 pc BNC MALE TO RCA PHONO FEMALE CONNECTOR CCTV CABLE | eBay UK

That will basically convert the VIDEO IN socket into a standard consumer-style one. Then you can plug any sort of Phono/RCA cable into it:

This one has white and red cables for audio as well, but you can just ignore those.
