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.
What else can I help you with?
The socket on the outside of the computer that connects the computer to the network Inside the computer this socket is on what?
The socket is on the Network (Interface) Card (Aka NIC) in your computer. The network card is plugged into the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot on your motherboard.
What is the difference between a composite video and component video connection?
Composite video runs all of your video through one channel. This is typically a yellow tipped RCA cable - the kind you would hook up a VCR or DVD player with. Component runs three separate video lines that each carry one color, and then they combine in your tv. The colors are typically labeled Y Pr and Pb. To connect that you would need to run three RCA cables, or a triple RCA cable. Component offers a better, cleaner picture.
List five types of video ports?
Composite Video (RCA jack plug, or F-pin) S-Video (Super-Video) Component Video. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
What is a socket connector?
A Socket Connector is where you are going to connect a socket
How is a ball and socket joint formed?
by forming a socket around a ball
Can one connect a 7 pin S video PC socket to a 3 jack component video connection on a tv resulting in a higher component quality signal than making the via a 4 pin S video cable?
No, the S-cable is the weak link in your plan.
What types of component video are there?
Component video is a video signal that has been split into multiple component channels. There are two types of it, RGB analog component video and Luma-based analog component video.
How many signals can a component video be split in to?
In general, a component video is one that has already been split into two or more component channels. Component video is often referring to analog, so beware.
If your tv does not have a HDMI socket will you be able to receive hdtv?
Yes. HDTV signal can be used through HDMI, use the Component connections (not to be confused with composite) if your set has it, if not, then s-video and video would all be better than Coaxial cable.
There are converters that go from HDMI to Composite or Component video with audio.?
There are converters that go from HDMI to Composite or Component video with audio.
Tres Componentes Que Se ajusten al Mismo Tipo de socket?
Three component conforming to the same type of socket
How do you watch top set box recorded programs?
Connect the HDMI out from your set-top box to the HDMI socket of your HDTV. Alternatively you can use component (red blue green) or S video PLUS a separate audio output (such as RCA or red and white) from your set-top box to your TV. In terms of picture quality, HDMI is the best, component next and S video worst.
Which component can you connect to a zero insertion force ZiF socket?
You can connect a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) component to a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. These components have pins on the package that can easily slide into the ZIF socket without requiring any force for insertion.
Is it worthy to convert an S-VIDEO signal to a component one?
Yes, the component input will yield a better picture than the s-video input.
What are the blue cables for on video cables?
Blue cables designate one of the three wires for a component video cable connection. Along with the Red and Green wires, these three form a component video cable.
On a video card what does comp mean?
component or computer
What are the major components of a video cassette?
component of VCR
