These are pretty darn close to what you need, as long as they are true

75 Ohm unbalanced to 110 Ohm, balanced, twisted pair? The fact that he
is using unbalanced audio implies 5K ohm or higher impedance.


Baseband Video is always 75 Ohms unbalanced 1VAC p/p. 110 Ohms is a
standard for digital audio. The fact the device is a BalUn means the
unbalanced audio (and video) is transformed for the balanced
transmission line (and back again after). The video will be a couple
10ths low but the first DA it hits will fix that, otherwise most devices
will AGC it to where it needs to be. As long as the group delay isn't
hideous it'll work for SDTV. There are audio only devices that is the
application we need here.

PS I'm surprised Ma Bell didn't try to sell you a bunch of 111C coils
and active official interface devices.
