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.
