What connector is this?

It comes from a video camera on a vessel and I need to convert it to AV. The picture is of the monitor it went into... I first thought it was S-Video... but its not...it looks like PS2.

The keying in the connector is wrong. It's a standard 6-pin mini DIN connector. These just happen to be used by PS/2 mice and keyboards among other stuff.

This is a standard s-video connector:

Thanks MagicBoy... I guess that I can get a simple converter to av (Like S-video to av)?

We bought a new survey boat and I decided to rip out the crt monitor which was connected to observation cameras and put in a touch screen for positioning, connected to Nav pc I built , and also use it for looking at the video feeds. I still got more wiring to do. The vessel needs to be operational by Monday.... no pressure

CCTV isn't my thing so I've no idea what the pinout is. It's not a standard s-video connector tho.

Some proprietory system, a lot of CCTV just uses 75ohm coax, with BNC's and 'composite video' feed. Clearly that isnt the case on your system. You'd really need the manufacturers spec to see if its possible to use/build a compatible cable, or signal convertor. Could even be some kinda digital feed, impossible to tell from the picture.
