It is because of the supposed high quality of them. That is why they can charge those ridiculous prices. Each one doesn't have much difference though.
S Video to component cables can be purchased at many retailers as they are very common. Some of these retailers include Walmart, Staples, or Office Max.
No, there is no SCART connection specifically designed for component video (Pb and Pr) cables. SCART primarily supports composite, S-Video, and RGB signals, while component video requires separate connections for the Y, Pb, and Pr signals. However, some devices may have adapters that convert SCART to component video, but this would not be a standard feature.
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.
Some shops that sell vga component cables are Target, Best Buy and Sears. Also, online shops like Amazon or ebay would sell vga component cables as well.
= 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.
This topic is highly debated. Some people claim that expensive HDMI cables produce a clearer picture, but many people say there is really no noticeable difference between cheap and expensive HDMI cables.
HDMI cables do not need to be expensive and some of the most expensive can be purchased for huge discounts when on sale. If you do consider $20-35 expensive then you should also consider the whole 1080P system expensive, which it is when compared with the older 480i standard system and even the 720P / 1080i systems.
The yellow cable is for video and the red and white are for audio. To connect to a HDTV and receive a HD signal you need to connect 3 video cables. The yellow cable will not get you an HD connection and only a Standard TV connection. Some HDTVs have component, S video plug, and/or HDMI plugs. Since your HDTV does not have a yellow plug slot we know you do not have the component HD connection with the 3 RCA type connections for Video. You may need to purchase new cables to connect your device to the HDTV. If both your HDTV and the device have HDMI plug slot purchase a HDMI cable from any large retail store and install it.
That will depend upon the model of Sanyo and the model of DVD player you have. The best possible solution for most is to use component video cables. You will want to run the audio cables to a home receiver of some sort, since the projector has very poor speakers.
"A/V cables" (or any variation thereon) means audio/video cables. These cables carry sound and picture within the home for almost all home-entertainment equipment, such as televisions, VCRs, and DVD players. They are even used directly or with a plug adapter by other devices such as video cameras or game machines. Until recently, the nomenclature referred only to the set of three A/V cables with one for picture (video), and two for stereo sound (audio). These cables are of the shielded type, terminated with a male connector, called a phono plug or RCA plug, on each end. The carried signals are all analog; the video signal carried is called composite video. Cable manufacturers color-code the cables or the connectors as follows: yellow for video, red for right-channel sound, and black for left-channel sound. But with the arrival of newer means of and standards for carrying sound and picture over wires, "A/V cables" can refer to any combination of wire types carrying sound and picture. Some other standards and technologies are S-video, component video, digital audio, digital optical audio, DVI video, and HDMI audio/video.
Camcorders, DVD players, and gaming consoles commonly use several types of connections, including HDMI, composite video (RCA), and component video cables. HDMI is the most prevalent for high-definition video and audio transfer, while composite and component cables are often used for older devices. Additionally, USB connections are frequently utilized for data transfer and charging in camcorders. Some devices may also support wireless connections like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for streaming and sharing content.
Any Hdmi cable can be used to connect your Xbox to your Hdtv. However you can purchase cables both component and Hdmi made be Microsoft for connecting your system other manufacturers of Hdmi cables include Monster cables and Sony.
