Why? BNC Connectors in Pro Video
Ever Wonder… Why BNC connections are preferred over RCA plugs in professional video applications?
There are a couple of strong reasons. First, BNC connectors allow for much tighter control over impedance than RCA connectors. This results in a more stable picture image. Second, the twist & lock mechanism of a BNC makes it very difficult to be jarred loose accidentally. This is especially important in patching applications where A/V engineers and technicians may be working in close quarters with several “hot” video feeds.
