William's FAQ
Er...no. It's a 75 ohm resistor, often in a BNC connector, but also switchable on some looping analogue video inputs. It should be at the end (and nowhere else) of every run of video cable to ensure correct impedance matching. It is especially important on long cable runs where any reflections in the cable will cause very nasty ghost images, but on shorter runs it helps keep video and chroma levels right.
