Connecting Canon 7D video output to Scout monitor via BNC
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Canon 7D's A/V out digital port outputs standard definition video through an RCA-type cable with red, yellow, and white connectors.
- To display the 7D video feed on a Scout monitor with BNC input, use the camera's included A/V cable and convert the yellow RCA connector to BNC using an adapter.
- An RCA to BNC adapter can be sourced from electronics retailers like Radio Shack.
- When cable connections are installed on a camera rig, securing them with velcro, cable ties, or gaff tape prevents movement that could affect gimbal balance.
Depends on
- The Scout monitor operates in standard definition, making HDMI connection unsuitable.
- This setup applies to Canon 7D camera specifically.
- Assumes the Scout package includes the necessary RCA-to-BNC adapter in its kit.
