Cant do it for HDMI. RCA is not 75 ohm.

I didn't realize you were using it for HDMI.

In theory,it's the cable,not the connector,that sets the impedance.

because an the hot leads of an adaptor are another point of failure.

Its also entirely possible that I don't fully understand what you mean do to my engineering mindset that I've yet to overcome.

All parts of the signal chain have a characteristic impedance. If you look, you'll find that BNC connectors are available in 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm versions. The impedance of the connector matters, you see. And you can't correct the impedance of an RCA connector by putting a BNC adaptor onto it.

For A LOT of information on this, here's some reading: [Link: bluejeanscable.com]
