The adapter is very close to what I need. Of course, I don't have that particular 4-pin connector on the end, mine looks like the s-video 4-pin, not the CEC connector I believe this one is.
So I'm thinking of cannibalizing the s-video to rca adapter that I already have. Splitting open the outer sheath, figuring out which wires go to what, and making my own adapter that includes the power cables. I'm assuming that I can check for continuity between the pins on the 4-pin and the rca to track the video signal cables. The other 2 pins should be the power back to the camera, right?
Thanks for the help so far, everyone. I'm optimistic(or deluded).

Before you do that, try this. Take the old monitor, don't connect the cable and power it up. Use a volt meter on the pins on the back of the monitor to see which ones are putting out power. Then you'll know which pins on the cable are for power and which are signal, hopefully anyway.
Then you can cut the end and put power to the camera and get the signal to the new monitor.
