Component Video Cables
Component video (RCA connectors) is a high-grade video
signal that separates the 3 basic components of a video signal
(luminance, hue, saturation). Component video is often displayed as
Y, Pb, Pr, or Y, Cb, Cr. The
typical connectors are three RCA Jacks with green, Blue, and Red
markings. This system is used primarily on DVD players and HDTV
receivers. A component video connection is capable of accepting
full high-definition signals up to 1080i. It is important to note
that when looking to purchase a surround sound receiver, to be sure
that it has component video switching. When purchasing component
video cables try to keep your run below 18ft.
NOTE: Although DVI and VGA may give a better image,
the component
video cable is the favored connection method since you can switch
video feeds thru your Surround sound receiver.
