I have a color video monitor with a 2xBNC connection for input. I believe this to be a composite input (although not 100% sure - maybe someone with experience with video monitors can correct me). I'm looking for a circuit to convert the signal to VGA or even better, to S-Video so that it can be used through a video card on a PC.
There are video cards available for a similar task to this: http://www.mirage-mmc.com/ but I figured I should look for a DIY way before settling on the card, because 1. It'll be a good learning experience, and 2. It'd require a different video card and drivers to use the card, which would add complexity to my project.
I'd greatly appreciate if someone would take the time to explain what would be required to do this conversion. It seems to me that S-Video to composite has many easily available cables and adapters. Something like http://www.hollyhand.com.tw/INDEX/webhtml/750H1795-1.htm for example. But for some reason I get the fealing that this is not what I need. Is there anyone here who has used professional video monitors with 2xBNC connectors that can explain what exactally is required to send the video signal to the monitor?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
