BNC connectors are used all the time on commercial or professional grade

that's worth anything. Older stuff used 'UHF' connectors (basically a
very large TNC - about 1" in diameter, and still used for RF stuff).
They sell BNC->RCA adaptors at RipoffShack for a few $$ apiece. Not as
good as the $1/ea or less that you can get them for from a surplus
electroncis dealer, but still fairly decent.

There're a lot of different connectors that
get used for composite
monitors. For school use, they want one that can withstand
some abuse,
and will stay on. (When somebody trips over the cord, it
should be strong
enough to pull the entire machine off of the table.)
Heh. That was my first guess too -- but I've never seen this
particular thing used on a composite video signal before. (Well, maybe
the L+sync used on b&w monitors...)
