== RF 75 Ohm ==== '''RF 75 Ohm''' ==''(analog, audio and video, lowest resolution video quality)''== Composite / RCA ==== '''Composite / RCA''' ==''(analog, video only, low resolution video quality)''== S-Video ==[[File:wiki-composite-video.jpg]]== Component Video ==This is superior to 75 Ohm RF.  This type of connection combines chrominance and luminance information, sending it along a single cable. Though capable of delivering a high-quality picture, composite video is not as accurate as either S-video or component video, both of which provide separate paths for chrominance and luminance. == '''S-Video''' ==''(analog, video only, medium resolution good video quality)'' [[File:wiki-svideo-video.jpg]] S-video inputs and outputs use a round, 4-pin jack. The "S" in S-video stands for "separate."  S-video connections transmit the chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) portions of a video signal along different paths, allowing them to be processed separately.  It provides a sharper picture than composite video. NOTE: This connector type is no longer used.  The industry has dropped support.  Modern A/V devices are sold without S-Video. == '''Component Video''' ==''(analog, video only, better "DVD" video quality)'' [[File:wiki-component-video.jpg]] Component video consists of three analog signals, luminance, blue color difference, and red color difference.  The color difference signals are mathematical derivatives of the RGB signal.  Component video is superior to composite video and S-Video by providing greater signal clarity, resulting in better picture quality. YPbPr analog component video is the most common type and works by separating the components of a video signal so that they do not interfere with each other.  Each component cable in the set is independently shielded and component video connections yield even better performance than S-video by further dividing the chrominance portion of the video signal. A drawback to component video is the number of cables involved for consumer electronic connections.  Consider the 3 component video connection cables, and 2 additional for stereo sound, the consumer has to connect 5 total cables from a video source to a television. The [[Nintendo Wii]] utilizes Component video. Note: This connector is commonly found on DVD players.  Although the most modern DVD players may also include HDMI, the composite type is typically used for DVD.''(analog, video only, highest possible "analog" video quality)''Used primarily for computer monitors and LCD flat-panel screens that display images from both traditional audio/video and computer video sources. It uses a 15-pin connector to carry packets of video information in a different format than that coming from other sources such as DVD players or cable boxes.== HDMI - High-Definition Multimedia Interface ==(D)igital (V)ideo (I)nterface is a multi-pin connection used for passing standard-definition and high-definition digital video signals.  DVI-D - True Digital Video, is the standard for modern Personal Computer systems.  This is the highest possible quality available for a modern PC or TV.  It is capable of doing HDTV 1080p at a resolution of 1920x1080 and higher. see also: [[Connector_Types_on_a_Standard_PC#DVI-D_Digital]] == '''HDMI - High-Definition Multimedia Interface''' ==''(digital, audio and video, highest available video quality)'' {{:High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)}}== Apple Composite ==The RGB (D-sub 15-pin) jack is found on some HDTV-ready TVs and HDTV tuner boxes, RGB connections are used for transferring video signals, including high-definition content. As implied by its name, RGB sends the red, green, and blue components of the video signal along separate paths.
