The simplest solution would be to use a push-on F adapter:
The type in the photo has a circular ring around the end to maintain tension on the connection. This would be adequate for temporary connections. Stick with the thread on type for permanent connections.
The adapters that SCVJeff referenced do have a 50 ohm BNC connector.
The 50 ohm connectors will most likely work okay. If not either round up some 75 ohm ones or go with the F push-on.
If the station that Jeff works at is similar to the one that I worked at, virtually all the BNC connectors were 50 ohm prior to the digital transition. With the much higher frequencies involved with HD video, a 75 ohm version of the BNC became available. Equipment vendors gave dire warnings about changing out connectors if used in the digital path. We left some 50 ohm connections and they seemed to work fine.
And in the new world, 8281just doesn't work at all.. :(
