Is the a converter for composite video or s video to component video?
Bobbarbu
Composite video is a single RCA cable that contains all of the video information. It is usually denoted by a yellow connector at each end of the cables. Component video has 3 RCA cables to carry the video information (Y, Pb, Pr). It is usually denoted by red, green, and blue connectors at each end of the cables. S-video separates the Y and C portions of the picture to avoid color smearing in the playback along with slightly higher picture quality. Composite video is extremely limited in the quality and resolution of video. Component video is capable of carrying all the HDTV resolutions (480i to 1080p). Composite and S-video are limited to standard definition signals (480i and 576i).
Within the domestic video market, there are virtually no devices that offer HD as an analog component signal. It is also important to note that Component Video is a digital video format, while Composite/S-Video/RGB is analog. RGB and Component connectors can often be mistaken, since they are color-coded in the same way - using the colors red, green and blue - so it is important to read the manuals of the devices, or read the labels at the inputs/outputs of the same.
There are converters that will decode a composite or S-video signal to component video, but usually run over $100 and up to $300. The benefits of such converters is very limited. Once a signal has been encoded into a composite signal, some of the signal information is lost. Decoding the signal back to component does not recover the information lost. Bear in mind that every television monitor has a composite decoder built in. It is a necessary part of the signal chain to get to red, green and blue signals that are displayed on the screen. Using a separate decoder simply moves the process to another point in the signal path.
Many newer Home Theater receivers now incorporate up-conversion into their features so all the video signals will output as a high definition HDMI signal. Once again, the benefit of up-conversion to HD is limited. Converting a 480 or 576 line standard definition signal to an HD signal does not add any more detail to the image. However, some up-converters in DVD players or receivers are better quality than the converters in the television itself, so the end result may appear somewhat better than using the televisions re-size circuitry.

How do you connect a TV to a TV?
Couple of ways to do this, depemds on your video out options on your tv. Go from the TV out on one TV to the in of the other. You will have to tune in the 2nd TV to channel 3 usually. You can also go thru a VCR with the 1st TV video out to the VCR video in and the VCR video out to the 2nd TV video in . On newer LCD tv's this is done similar. Use a video out on your main set that u want to select whats playing from. Then on the second set use the video in. You will have to use the correct mode on the first tv for what u want to play on both sets such as HDMI1 or Component 1, or Video 1, Video 2 etc. Then on your second set it will probably say AV in 1 or 2. see which one u plugged into and then change the mode on the second set to which ever one u plugged into. Now set your main set to what u want to watch and your second set to AV 1 or AV 2 , or Video 1 or Video 2 (which ever u plugged into) and you should be able to control both tv's and watch the same thing from the main set. Also, some of the newer TV's has a S-video connection. Get a s-video cable and connect it to the s-video plugs on your tv's then you can control either set from either set. such as On the main set your watching cable from your HDMI mode or Cable mode. Go to your second set and change the mode to the S-video mode. Then it will play what your main set is playing, and vise versa if you want to control the main set from the secondary set turn the secondary set to Cable in mode or HDMI 1 mode then turn your main set to S-video mode and it will play what the secondary set is playing. If your not a TV buff this may sound confusing but it is really simple. All tv's have most if not all of these different modes especially on new sets. To change mode just look on your remote to change mode, or for the AV-mode buttons to change the modes of the set.

Is there a converter from composite or s-video to component video?
There are many converters on the market, from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars for a studio quality decoder. There is a limited benefit in using a dedicated composite to component decoder: Once a signal has been encoded into a composite or an S-video signal, some of the picture detail is lost forever. Decoding the signal into component does not restore the quality. Bear in mind that every television that has a composite or S-video input has a decoder to obtain a component signal. Using an external decoder simply moves the process to another point in the signal path. Having said that, a good quality decoder may give better results than a television's internal decoder.
Which type of cable do you use from satellite to receiver for hd directv?
You will either need a composite(not component) cable or a HDMI cable. I think you can use S-Video but S-Video doesn't compare to HDMI or composite.
Is s video better than rca?
RCA connectors can be used for both composite (1 connector) video and component (3 connector) video. The quality order is: BASIC - Composite (1 RCA wire, Yellow) BETTER - S-Video (1 wire, usually black) BEST - Component (3 RCA wires, Red, Green Blue) Composite can only send standard definition video, up to 480i. S-Video can only send standard definition video, up to 480i. Component can send video up to 1080i High Definition.
Are Composite video 3-jack component video and S-video are types of connections one can use to connect a DVD player to a television?
Depending on the DVD player. Any DVD player will have one or more of those options. IT could also have an HDMI out. For best quality, connect it to the highest signal your television can take in. The best is HDMI, followed by component, followed by s-video, with composite being last. That being said, there are two different types of component. One had "b" as the second letter of the color it transmits, and one has the letter "c". Your TV and DVD player would have to match to run component. "c" is generally an older format.
Where do they sell s-videos to Rca?
There is no cable that does this. The S-Video cable has the Chroma (colour) and Luma (brightness) signals split on two different contacts. Regular RCA connectors for composite video have only one contact plus a round. You will need a video converter box or some other electronic way to convert the signal. If your newer TV has component video, you won't be able to do this either.

What is video and audio input?
Video is picture and audio is the sound. Home theater receivers have RCA composite or component, S-Video or HDMI for the video input, and RCA analog, Toslink (optical) or coaxial inputs for digital audio.
How do you connect an HDMI outlet to rca inputs?
You can't. HDMI is digital. RCA is analog (component or composite).
Which type of cable will have a better quality signal coaxial or composite RCA?
Composite RCA will be better than a coaxial cable (RG6). The order of quality and maximum resolution from best to worst is: HDMI (including HDMI 1.4 3D) DVI Component Video S-Video Composite Coaxial cable
What are three types of video connectors?
S-Video, Composite-S and Coaxial
What is the most commonly used video input?
There are several video inputs available like composite, S-video, component RGB, Firewire, HDMI and SCART. The most commonly used video input in a home environment is probably the SCART input.
