What kind of video connectors are these?
I'm installing a 4 camera dash monitor on my 2018 Thor Siesta24ST, and moving the backup and 2 side camera connectors from the dash radio to the monitor, which as BNC connectors. When I disconnected the camera connectors from Thor's reverse/ turn signal selector box (which will no longer be used), I saw that instead of either BNC or RCA connectors, they were a 5 pin connector I am not familiar with (see photo). I need to adapt these connectors to the monitor's BNC connectors. Anyone know what these connectors are called, or how best their info can be connected to BNC? Perhaps use of Baluns if no adapters are available, but I'd still need to know which two of the 5 pins (they are numbered 1-5) have the info that would connect with the balun. Thanks.

It's called "S Video"

S Video is really old school
I remember them in the 80’s
They were the new hip & trendy connector to get the clearest picture using your high tech Video Cassette Recorder.
Ha! Those were some fun times.

Definitely NOT an S-video cable. Ted has nailed it with the adapter shown.

I needed a new cable or plug when one of my mirror camera cables shorted out. I finally found & ordered these to repair my cable. BTW, if anyone ever needs one, let me know, I have all the leftovers.

That is a 5 pin DIN connector I'm almost certain. They are available from most electronic stores and ham radio stores where they are used for microphone connectors and on several other electronic pieces.

Actually, it turns out 16ACE27 hit the nail on the head: They aren't s-video or DIN,, but are connectors sold by Rear View Safety, and apparently not available anywhere else. Once I saw RVS website, it was obvious this was the vendor Thor uses. I ordered the connectors (not cheap, $10 each), but they fit perfectly.

I ordered adapters when I was trying to determine what was going on with my 3-camera system. Rear View Safety was the mfgr. of the Switcher box in my Thor Citation Sprinter.
I was very satisfied with their customer service both phone and chat people.
