... there are a few players that use BNC port for video output. Less noise than a yellow RCA video plug. (Because of its physical dimensions RCA plug can only approach 75 Ohms.) Among them are HLD-X0 and I think also LD-V4400.

Also, the LD-V800 - exactly the same player as the V8000, except with BNC connections.

Broadcast/professional equipment uses BNC connections for video cabling, to minimise signal degradation from back-reflection caused by impedance mismatch.

The X0 team actually modified their PDI Deluxe capture card to swap the RCA with a BNC connector.

Again, I would say that for us people who don't have X0-quality euipment, there is not really a noticeable advantage in using BNC connections over RCA, as long as you are using good quality video cables (i.e. not cheap audio RCA cables).
