Can you hook up a jamma signal to a BNC connection on a monitor?

Will jamma video run through a BNC cable into monitor? The monitor takes a standard resolution signal from my naomi via vga cable. I don't know too much about BNC, but the 5 on the back of the monitor read:

1:Red
2:Green
3:Blue
4:HD/CS (horizontal sync or composite sync)
5:VD (vertical sync)

There's also a switch under each of them that reads "75" on one side and "high" on the other.

ideas, opinions, thoughts, possible?

Ya you can. I had a friend who was using a Sony RGB monitor for playing games and stuff. The 75 switch is to put a 75ohm load on the line iirc.

He was telling me something about the ground but I can't remember.

Thanks! I got it working. The picture is very dull, but it's working. The graphics on the very top are blured a bit (top inch), but the majority is perfect (besides looking like a faded t-shirt, lol.

The only thing I've found with the ground is I had to wire grounds to the 4 signals. R-ground, G-Ground, B-ground, and sync ground...to pins 6,7,8, 10. I just grounded them all together. Not sure if I "had" to do it, but I did it this time around and actually got a solid picture.
