What is a Component video socket?

Component video is one of the high-end video interfaces offered on audiovisual equipment today. It supersedes composite video and S-Video by providing greater signal clarity than either, resulting in better picture quality. The component video interface consists of three RCA or coaxial jacks, one green, one red and one blue, requiring three cables. Component video carries visual data only. Audio cables are still required. Like composite and S-Video, component video is an analog interface, but its three cables better preserve the various elements of the video source signal. These elements are the Y signal, which carries brightness or contrast values, and the C signal, which carries red and blue or color data. Green values are parsed by a deductive process from reading all three streams. Therefore, component video is sometimes referred to as "RGB" for red, green, blue. The component video interface is marked either Y Pr Pb or Y Cr Cb. There is some misunderstanding among technophiles as to the difference between component video marked Y Pr Pb versus Y Cr Cb, with some claiming the latter is digital while the former is analog. Experts point out that both designations mean the same thing on consumer level equipment, and both are analog. There is a digital variety of Y Cr Cb, but it is not used in consumer level products. While regular television signals, VHS tapes and laserdiscs all encode visual data using lesser quality composite video, DVDs use component video for encoding visual data. A DVD player with component video outputs, connected to a television with component video inputs, will provide a picture far superior than one using composite video connections. Component video is also a step up from S-Video in that component video is a multi-scan technology, which means it can deliver the video stream in differing modes to accommodate various frame rates for progressive-scan or interlaced televisions. Component video cables are available in different configurations. All three cables might be encased in a single sheath with triple tails at each end, or the cables might be bonded or ribboned together. Three single RCA or coaxial cables can also be used, but should be the same length and type. Increased cable quality, tips and shielding add to the cost, as will the length of the cables. Many people have numerous free cables around the house from purchasing past equipment, and some people opt to use these to connect component video. Bear in mind that standard cables are color-coded red and white, so care must be taken to match the green, red and blue jacks with the same wire on both pieces of equipment. Cabling made for component video is color-coded green, red and blue for this reason. It is also usually of higher quality and might have better shielding coverage and lower impedance levels. If results are unsatisfactory using standard cables, a cable upgrade might make a difference.


What video types support or carries both analog and digital signals?

Analog and digital video signals don't mix well so there are few interfaces that handle both. HDMI is purely digital and has no capacity to carry analog signals. RCA, phono or scart connections are analog with no provision to carry digital video. In broadcast studios, 75 ohm co-ax cable is used almost exclusively to carry video. The same cables will carry analog video or digital video depending on what they are connected to. The decision to make broadcast digital signal run on the same cable as analog video has greatly smoothed the transition to digital broadcasting. As far as domestic video is concerned, the only dual standard interface that is recognized is the DVI connector. Primarily a computer display interface, it carries digital video but will also handle analog VGA signals on the same cable. Furthermore, the two signals can be carried simultaneously and can be the same or different images. As the digital video component of a DVI interface is compatible with the video component of HDMI, it can carry broadcast signals as well as computer display data so it can be described as a video cable. Note that although DVI and HDMI are compatible, DVI does not carry the audio element of the signal whereas the HDMI interface does.


What is the difference between SCART and AV sockets on televisions?

A scart connector is found in many European televisions and players. It is a multi-pin connector that carries video and audio signals as well as some control signals. The video signal can be composite, S-video, RGB or component and is decided by the output or input device. The control signals allow a television to detect when a player or receiver is active and can switch to the right input automatically. In later equipment, infra red signals can also be carried from one device to another using the control cables. Some connectors also allow signals to be carried in both directions.AV connectors carry the same signals but normally with a single connector per signal. For example, three connectors are needed for composite video, left audio and right audio. Although the signals are identical to those used in a scart connector, wiring is more complex. Automatic input switching is not a feature of separate AV connections.The scart connector made equipment connections very easy but the quality of connection tends to be poor compared to individual connectors. They are known for pulling out of sockets due to the weight of cable attached to the connector. Scarts are now becoming rare as HDMI interfaces are becoming the standard for player to television links.


If you take a video source outputting component video and use component cables but connect it to a display source that uses composite connections what's the highest display resolution you can get?

Component video is carried on three wires, normally referred to as YUV or Y, Pb, Pr. The Y component carries the luminance information - the brightness. The other two carry color information. Connecting a component signal to a composite input will be difficult as composite uses a single connector that carries brightness and color signals on the same wire. If you connect the Y of the component signal to the composite input, you will see a monochrome image. With a very, very few exceptions, analog component video is limited to standard resolution, so the highest will be 480 line (North American) or 576 line (European). Composite connections handle only standard definition and there is no composite standard for HD video.

If you plug a monitor into a laptop will it play through the monitor?

yes it will. The laptop should notice it as a plug and play and install it automatic. The only problem is that both the laptop screen and the moniter will be on at the same time. Hope this helps Most if not all laptops have a video out socket on the back. It could be the normal VGA D-type adapter or simply S-video, take a lead from this to your monitor and it should work. There may be an option you need to turn on, to get the video to output through the video out socket.


What is the meaning of DVD Component In for a color tv and what will happen if a TV don't have that?

Component video signals are in fact three separate signals. One carries brightness information and the other two carry color information. It is the format used in broadcast environemnts and provides the best video quality. Please note that component is NOT an RGB signal, as used in VGA signals. Even if a DVD player has component output, it will also support composite signals, which use a single signal cable. The connection will be on an RCA or phono connector or perhaps on a scart connector in Europe. Most players will also have an S-video output as well as composite. Check that the television has either a composite input or an S-video input and the player should work without any problem. S-video is a better quality signal than composite and should be used if there is a choice between the two. All of the signals mentioned so far are analog. Most modern televisions and DVD players now have HDMI or DVI links. Although these are both interfaces designed to support high definition, they also operate at standard definitions. HDMI carries sound on the same cable and therefore provides a convenient and high quality interface.


What is rca and component?

RCA is the name of a television manufacturing company and also the name of a connector. The question probably refers to the connector in this instance. RCA is the North American name for it. Phono is the European name for the same connector. It is commonly used for domestic audio and video connections. Video connectors are often colored yellow to indicate composite video while three connectors together, colored red, green and blue are either component or RGB video connectors. RGB is a video signal in which the three colors are each carried on a separate cable. Component also uses three cables but one carries brightness information while the other two carry color information. In some cases, domestic equipment offers both formats on the same set of connectors. Normally, a menu setting will select the format if they are both supported. Component is the highest quality video signal available so if it can be used, this is the one to select. RGB can be of the same quality but it not often used with video equipment (it tends to be more common in computer displays than video). S-video and composite signals are lower quality. HDMI and DVI are digital signals that support HD signals as well as SD signals. Note that HDMI carries component video in a digital form or RGB in a digital form. It is not inherently better quality than the analog signals found on the RCA connectors but they are needed to carry commercial HD content. RCA connectors with analog component are restricted to standard definition only, other than a handful of devices that will support HD on analog component.
