Can audio and video signals can be sent simultaneously over bnc cable?

BNC is a type of connector for co-ax cables. It is commonly used in the broadcast industry although seen far less in domestic situations.
There are two ways that audio can be carried with a video signal over a single co-ax cable. The first is by using RF signals, as are used in terrestrial broadcasts and picked up by an antenna. Signals can be either digital or analog.
The alternative is a broadcast digital signal called SDI (serial digital interface). SDI carries digital component video, audio and other control data and represents the best quality video signals available. The interface supports SD and HD signals and runs at 270Mbit or 1.5Gbit, depending on the resolution. Unfortunately, SDI is not seen outside broadcast facilities. Despite the ease of use and compact size of the cables, SDI does not support the copy protection that is demanded by content producers and so has never made it to domestic equipment.

Does an S Video cable also carry audio?
S-video is a two part video signal carrying luma and chroma signals (Brightness and color signals). There is no audio signal in an S-video connection so the audio will need a separate connection to operate.
Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
What type of audio and or video cable includes not only carriers for both positive and negative signals but also a grounding carrier?
A balanced coaxial cable
Does an S-Video cable also carry audio?
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.

Can you use an video cable for audio?
For short signal runs, audio cable can be used for video without any issues. As the length of cable increases, it become more important to use cable that is designed for video signals. For most video signals, this will be a 75 ohm co-ax cable such as RG59. There will only be a noticeable difference in quality once the cable length exceeds 10 to 20 feet.

Does audio come through svga cable?
No. The only cable that transmits audio and video is HDMI.
How do you transmit 2 video signals down one cable?
Generally it isn't possible to send two video signals on a single wire although there are instances where it can happen. Video over Ethernet allows multiple signals to be sent in packets although the nature of Ethernet means that the signals will each have a delay so synchronizing the signals may be difficult. Video over CAT5 uses converters that take a video signal and modify it to run over a single pair of a CAT5 cable. Normally, two more pairs would be used for stereo audio. If mono audio is used, it is possible to run two composite video signals with audio down one cable. Note that video over CAT5 uses the same cable as Ethernet but employs a very different signal format to Ethernet. Composite video signals use a single cable but in fact, the signal has three separate video components encoded into the signal. The signals are one for brightness and two for color information. Together they make up a full color signal and can be separated into the three components at the far end. Although the cable carries three signals, remember that they are all parts of the same color signal so this probably doesn't qualify as two signals. Finally, cable broadcasters use encoding systems to allow numerous signals to be carried on a single cable. The one that enters a house to supply a cable receiver carries many signals with just one being decoded and output by the receiver. This takes complex hardware at both ends so is outside the scope of most home users.
What are the best cables to use for hooking up audio and video components?
Audio components can be connected with speaker wire for signals from amplifiers. Brand doesn't matter, although a thicker wire will have less loss than a thinner wire. For the best audio, optical or coaxial digital cable for digital audio signals. For the best video, HDMI is the current standard for connection between high-definition sources and receivers and video displays.
