Frequencies. Audio is usually DC- to 20 khz. and the video portion is around 4.5 Mhz. in which, the audio is part of the 4.5 mhz. video TV signal, FM in nature while the video is AM. Then it's up to the TV's circuitry to separate the two components and send them to the proper circuitry to decode them.
S-video is a two part video signal carrying luma and chroma signals (Brightness and color signals). There is no audio signal in an S-video connection so the audio will need a separate connection to operate.
To get sound from YPbPr (component) cables, you will need a separate audio connection such as analog audio cables or an audio extractor that combines the audio signal into the same cable as the video. YPbPr cables only carry video signals, so you must use a separate audio connection to transmit sound to your audio device.
A direct box converts high-impedance signals from instruments like guitars into low-impedance signals that are better suited for audio equipment. This helps in audio signal processing by reducing noise, improving signal clarity, and ensuring proper matching between the instrument and the audio system.
A delay before distortion in audio signals can be caused by factors such as signal processing, filtering, or the limitations of the equipment used to capture or reproduce the audio.
S-video is an interface standard for video signals only. It used two cables, one for a black and white image and the other for the color information. Audio needs to be routed on separate cables.
Audio in a broadcast production environment is handled in two different ways. Once captured, the audio signal is normally converted to a digital signal. It can be stored and pass through each stage of the signal chain as a separate signal or it can be imbedded into the video signal. There are advantages to either method Separate audio signals can be processed independently of the video signal so level changes, surround processing, equalization can all be carried out with ease. Separate signals of course, are not tied to the video signal. One of the possible consequences is that the timing can be changed compared to the video signal. To make sure this doesn't happen, the signal chain needs to have video and audio delay systems that can correct for processing delays. In some cases, the timing is handled by automated systems that measure or predict processing delays. In other cases, the delay is set manually to retain synchronization through a specific process. As video signals can pass through numerous processes, the timing can become complex. Each video process such as level adjustments, adding closed caption data each cause one or two frames of delay to the video signal. It can be beneficial to get the two signals combined as soon as possible. The separate audio signal uses a device called an imbedder to combine the audio signal and the video signal. The audio signal is fitted into the gaps in the video signal. In the days of analog video, the image was delivered in bursts of one line. Then there is a pause to allow the screen trace to return to the left hand side of the screen. Similarly, at the bottom of the screen, there is a longer pause to give time for the trace to return to the top of the screen. Digital video signals still use the same signal timings despite the fact that the signal timing is less important than it was in the analog days. The gaps in the digital signal are filled with small chunks of audio. There are sufficient gaps to allow up to 8 audio channels to be squeezed into an HD signal as well as other data such as closed caption information. Once the signal is part of the video signal, there is no need to worry about timing, nor the need to store and retrieve audio data with separate files. Because there are as many as 8 audio channels, there is also scope for separate soundtracks to e stored such as alternative languages. When the program is broadcast, the correct soundtrack needs to be selected. The final step before broadcast is to re-compress all the data into a data stream ready for transmission to the viewer.
Television broadcasts are now almost exclusively digital. Video, audio and other information are broadcast as a single data stream so there is no requirement nor an option to split the signals. In the days of analog broadcasting, the audio signal was commonly broadcast as a separate signal using a related transmission frequency.
Phase inversion is a process where the polarity of an audio signal is reversed. This can impact the quality of audio signals by causing cancellation or reinforcement of certain frequencies when combined with other signals. This can result in a loss of clarity and definition in the sound.
A guitar Y splitter is used to split the signal from a single guitar into two separate outputs. This allows the guitarist to send their signal to two different amplifiers or audio devices simultaneously. The splitter works by taking the input signal from the guitar and dividing it into two separate signals, which can then be sent to different destinations for amplification or recording.
An audio signal is a representation of sound, typically as an electrical voltage. Audio signals have frequencies in the audio frequency range of roughly 20 to 20,000 Hz (the limits of human hearing).
A DI box in audio production is used to convert high-impedance signals from instruments like guitars into low-impedance signals that are better suited for recording or live sound systems. This helps reduce noise, distortion, and signal loss, resulting in clearer and more accurate audio signals.
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.
