Can you use ps2 component cables through composite?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Composite signals require a single cable to carry the complete signal. Normally, the cable will be terminated in an RCA jack on domestic equipment or BNC connectors for professional equipment. Composite signals support only standard definition signals. Analog component signals comprise three discrete signals, one for brightness and two for color encoding. Component cables are normally terminated into three RCA or three BNC connectors. Component signals support both standard and high definition signals. Three composite cables can usually be used for a component signal. For short runs, cable designed for standard definition will handle high definition without problems but as the length of the cable increases, so the signal quality will be degraded. If separate cables are used, it is important that they are the same length. Differing cable lengths can sometimes cause a noticeable color offset on the image. Digital component can be run on a single cable but it is generally only found in broadcast environments. Domestic digital component signals are normally carried on HMDI cable, a single cable with multiple signals contained in it.

Answer 3

Yes, but don't get the colors confused between the devices.

Answer 4

I don't see how
