External Field Monitor: Composite, S-Video or Other?

[PannyManiac]

New to the forums, and a longtime Panasonic DVX-100 user.

I'm currently planning Glidecam and Steadycam setups, both with external monitors that only accept a BNC connection. Previously, I've only used a direct connection (in-studio) via Firewire for capture/monitoring with the DVX.

Would there be any advantage in the picture quality using an S-Video out over a Composite Video (RCA) out? BNC adapters will be used, obviously. Color will be muted (b&w); the operators will be focusing on composition.

Thanks in advance.

Use the composite with a BNC>RCA adapter. No sense in converting the S-Video signal to composite (which is what the BNC cable carries).
