Tv Ariel And Bnc

[RickStevens]

You would need to connect your scart from your camera into the scart end (you may need a gender changer, I have never played with scarted cameras before). The BNC marked video out would then go into the time lapse in video in. You would need a second lead to go from time lapse video out to TV using the opposite BNC.

I would just get a standard scart lead and chop one end of. Using the pinouts I have given you connect a BNC sheath to ground and the centre pin to video in or out depending which way you are going. Saying that a standard scart may cost you in excess of what the convertor costs on ebay.

Rule of thumb is simple, avoid any TV aerial connections. The output from your camera is composite video, the inputs on a time lapse are composite video and the aux scart or phono inputs on your TV are composite video. You just need to source leads to go from camera to time lapse to TV.

Hope that helps

Thanks for explaining that Dave, I understand now

Hi

Im ne to this so please forgive if this is a stupid question.

I have a home CCTV system that connects via scart to a vcr, however I'm bored of putting tapes in it every 8 hours and want to upgrade to a time lapse recorder.

I have read a previous post here about Scart to BNC, but just wondered if the following is possible.

Connect the CCTV to a VCR via aux in. Alter a standard TV ariel cable so that one end had a BNC connector, and connect from the TV out on the VCR directly to the BNC input on the time lapse recorder. Would this work?

thanks

Rick

Easy way is obtain a cable with a BNC already fitted, open the scart plug up, solder on to the correct connections, ie. ground and video out (Look up scart pin connections on the www) then take the new lead out the back of the scart plug and on to the TLVCR. Sometimes you have to feed the lead through the screw on cap at the back of the scart plug first. The scart plug then just acts as a connector or at any time you can plug it back into your TV/VCR. (You "may" be able to plug it into the "normal" TV/VCR at the same time as well to act as a monitor but this will not always work due to changing the impedence of the video signal and ground looping but having the ground wires connected together in the scart plug should avoid this.) I avoid cutting cables if at all possible.
