The original 5" Video Assist used DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors for its SDI ports which have a push/pull locking mechanism.
The new 5" Video Assist 12G HDR has Micro BNC connectors (these are sometimes also called High Density BNC or HD BNC for short). These connectors are like a smaller version of full sized BNC connectors and have a similar half-turn twist locking (bayonet style) mechanism.
Note that there also exists a 3rd connector type for small coaxial cables called Mini BNC. These connectors are in between Micro BNC and full sized BNC in size, so they will not work with the 5" Video Assist 12G. There is a comparison of different small coaxial cable connectors (including HD BNC, Mini BNC, and DIN 1.0/2.3) in this document:

There are Micro BNC (or HD BNC) to full sized BNC cables available from some manufacturers. Here are a few examples:

If you are up for making your own cables, Amphenol, Canare, and Coax Connectors all make Micro BNC connectors. Amphenol calls theirs HD BNC, most of the other manufacturers refer to them as Micro BNC:
