What are the functions of each of the blue red and green cables on a video cable?

Red, Blue and Green rca cables are a component video cable. Each cable carries the information that comprises the red, blue and green color information for the picture. The green cable also carries the sync or refresh information for the picture. This cable can carry video with resolutions from 420i (standard analog TV) to 1080i (currently the highest definition broadcast in North America on digital TV).


Can you use component Video cables for height definition video?

= Answer = Yes. Component cables can carry an HD signal. DVI and HDMI are the preferred ways to transfer an HD signal though because the signal is carried digitally across the cables as opposed to analoglly as with the component cables. = Answer = There are high definition analogue component interfaces around for HD televisions but they are not common. I believe that almost all new televisions will have only digital interfaces (HDMI or DVI for example). I have used some older plasma screens that only had analogue inputs, so analogue component was the only interface available. The simple answer is, if the monitor and the signal source both have analogue component interfaces, then you can use component cables. It's worth remembering that all HD sources are digital, whether on DVD or off air. There is no benefit in converting to analogue as it will need to be converted back to a digital signal for processing inside an LCD or plasma screen.


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.


What is video and audio input?

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.
