	Cat-5 to Coax
I need to convert a Digital CCTV Camera signal using Cat-5 to an analog signal over coax so that the camera will interfeace with an analog Pelco switcher. I've seen plenty of coax-cat5/cat5-coax encoders/decoders but never cat5-coax adapters.

Dear Cory, Your best bet may be to contact the manufacturer of the camera to see if they have a digital(category 5) to analog (coax) converter. If not here is a product need that I have not seen fulfilled. An alternate way to do this would be with a cheap (low channel) matrix that accept digital inputs and has analog outputs but that may be too costly for your situation. Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
