What cables do not support HD signals HDmi component dvi composite?

HDMI and DVI are both interfaces that have specific cables and both support HD video.
Component and composite both refer to methods of encoding information to represent a moving image and they are not types of cable. Equipment will often have connectors for composite or component inputs and outputs but the type of connector and cable used can vary from one item to another.
However, to answer the test question that has been used as this question, HDMI and DVI support digital video data including HD video. Component specifies a signal format that can be digital or analog and also supports HD video. Composite is a format for a single encoded signal that supports standard definition only.

Can you splice composite cables to component cables?
No, you can do it the other way around, though.
Component Cable?
Component cables do not carry audio signals. However, you will find that they are bundled with audio cables most of the time. These are usually cheap products, varying from about 5 to 10 dollars. Don't be fooled by "gold plated" or any metal plated cables, because they all work the same, without loss of quality for cheaper ones.
Why are HDMI cables better than component cables?
HDMI cables are not better than component cables. They are different and the HDMI interface provides features that are not available on analog component interfaces. HDMI absolutely does not automatically result in better quality images. HDMI carries a component signal for television. It's often the same component signal that analog cables carry other than the fact that it is in a digital form. The information it carries is the same as analog component. In both cases, the image quality is dependent on the signal that is output and not the type of interface. HMDI can also carry a wide range of signal formats and it is now the only domestic connector that is compatible with HD signals. Although there is an HD analog component interface, it is never seen on domestic equipment for one reason. HDMI interfaces allow copy protection systems (HDCP) to be used so that uesrs cannot extract the signal and record it. Analog HD component signals cannot be protected in the same way. The restriction to HDMI is the industry's way of protecting content and reducing piracy. HMDI is also more convenient in that it carries video audio and control data as wel as allowing players and televisions to talk to each other. It reduces set up time and reduces the number of cables behind the equipment. HDMI is limited to short lengths. Although long cables can be purchased, they are expensive ad bulky. Analog component (and other digital component signals) can be run far greater distances without problem. There are now HDMI extenders that use low cost CAT5 cables to run signals up to 100 feet or more and these often work out less expensive than long HDMI cables.
Are Composite video 3-jack component video and S-video are types of connections one can use to connect a DVD player to a television?
Depending on the DVD player. Any DVD player will have one or more of those options. IT could also have an HDMI out. For best quality, connect it to the highest signal your television can take in. The best is HDMI, followed by component, followed by s-video, with composite being last. That being said, there are two different types of component. One had "b" as the second letter of the color it transmits, and one has the letter "c". Your TV and DVD player would have to match to run component. "c" is generally an older format.
How to set up DVD player with rca cables to HDTV with component cables?
If the DVD player doesn't have COMPONENT connectors, you will have to use a input on the TV that has RCA input connectors.
Can you use ps2 component cables through composite?
You can, but I'd suggest that it's used only for short runs, maybe up to 6 feet, max. The picture quality will probably suffer due to internal signal reflections, causing ghosting of the image or ssome smearing of the video, but it'll work.

Can component cables give you 1080p quality standard?
"Component cables" normally refer to a set of three cables that carry analog television signals. There is an HD format for analog component signals but it does not support 1080p, only 1080i and 720p. In addition, equipment being sold from 2009 onwards does not support analog HD. Commercial pressure from program producers has resulted in HDMI being the only HD interface that is commonly available. HDMI supports content encryption to prevent copying of HD content and has replaced virtually all analog HD interfaces.

What is better for a TV hookup composite cable or component cable?
Component caries a better picture but you will need 2 extra cables for the audio.
Can component video cables carry digital signals?
They have specifically digital component cables slowly starting to surface in stores and online. You may have to research based on what you're going to use it for and what kind of monitor/TV you have.
Is the Cables To Go RapidRun Component Video + S-Video very versitile?
It is able to support multiple signals over a single cable, including VGA, component video, S-video, analog and digital audio, and any combination of HDMI and DVI.
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.
What kind of different TV cables are there?
There are five different types of TV cables one could use for their system. These are component video cables, composite cable, coxial RF cable, s-video cable, DCI and HDMI cables.

What kind of service that can be supplied through VGA port in LG LCD TV?
A VGA port will typically accept most computer display signals but in addition, the connector may also support broadcast rate signals that use an RGB format, i.e. three separate cables for red, green and blue signals. The connector might also support component video, a three wire video signal. Component signals are often connected with RCA (phono) connectors but the VGA connector is used in a very few cases. VGA does not support audio signals but some control information can be exchanged between the computer and the monitor. To establish the capabilities of a specific port, there is no alternative to reading the manual.
