<p>I have a monitor with 2 connections labeled as output. CVBS1 and CVBS2 look like <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/WuPIq.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a>. Looking at them I'm not a hundred percent on what kind of cable I need to use. </p>

@MichaelLiebman Thanks! Such a strange connection to have on a monitor.

I have a monitor with 2 connections labeled as output. CVBS1 and CVBS2 look like [This](https://i.sstatic.net/WuPIq.jpg). Looking at them I'm not a hundred percent on what kind of cable I need to use.

After trying to search online I'm fairly sure its a coaxial cable with a BNC connector, but I would like to find out for sure before I order a cable.
