Why is that ? Some of these output HDCVI ….Which is not standard composite …

Some do - but as I wrote in the last post, as far as this one is concerned ...

Kind Regards, John

I am at this point totally confused about getting a signal into the TV
Any way I gave it a go coax to coax went though all the channels on the TV, AVI 1 and AVI 2 (I think) and then another set of 8 channels and nothing but a blue screen

Photo 3 looks like it may be the TV antenna socket - is it?

You have already been told that would not work and that you need a BNC to scart connection.

It certainly looks like it, and I rather suspect that's what the OP has been trying (unsuccessfully) to use, since he probably doesn't have a cable with a BNC connector.

However, rather strangely, the (seemingly very 'comprehensive') data sheet (relevant bits of which I posted yesterday) makes no mention of that socket and/or any modulated output.

The photo does show a Scart socket, which would work with 1v P-P

Not sure what you are saying there?

We know that, and have discussed that, and also know that a PAL composite 1V P-P signal comes out of the BNC socket (not the (#Belling Lee') coax 'aerial' socket - but the OP doesn't currently have a way of connecting the camera's BNC to the TV's SCART.

Not sure what you are saying there?

I'm saying that, as I illustrated (twice) before, the data sheet gives all this information about video output, including telling us what comes out of the BNC socket, but without mentioning the other ('aerial') socket and/or any modulated output (which, if it existed, could be used toi feed the OP's TV's aerial socket.

Just to be clear, you won't get a picture if you plug the camera into the antenna socket!

The BNC connector (Bayonet Neill–Concelman ) is a coaxial connector that (in this case) carries a composite video signal. This can usually be connected to your TV by way of a SCART to composite lead,

The BNC plug along with mono RCA to scart plug cable is designed to connect a from a BNC device to a TV or alternatively due to its directional switch can go...

Although you now mention AV1 And AV2, some Digilogic TVs had another set of AV inputs on the side.
As we have seen from your skills with the grips; perhaps you can have a go at connecting the lead into one of these!

 

[AstonHill]

Was thinking about it and why I dont have a signal coax to coax; could be because the signal is analog to a digital TV; Dont know?

I had a look at the back of the camera and the ports next to the power supply are the same push pit fittings and there are 10 of them. Had a look at the scart on the TV and there are 2 lines of 10 wire inserts

That looks very much like the same TV I have hear!
The 3 phono ports are stereo, mono and video
I wonder if I wire the video phono port on the TV to the coax port on the camera if it would work, considering they are bough analog?

I would think that it might.

Next question then is....
Do I use a phono wire or a coax wire to make the connection with, or bough and join the 2 wires together in the middle
alternatively there may be a plug adapter that you can buy

A "Phono wire"  is a coaxial cable.
If you have a phono to phono cable, you can attempt something like:

Or....

alternatively there may be a plug adapter that you can buy

Yes there is, as mentioned earlier!

your TV may have a phono connector on the back that is coloured yellow, or green/yellow.
In which case you will need a phono lead and a BNC to phono adapter:

That wont work! for 2 reasons
One; you have not grounded it
two; the connection is not secure/ tight enough
