	Component video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Component video is a type of analog video information that is transmitted or stored as two or more separate signals.
		Component video can be contrasted with composite video (such as NTSC or PAL) in which all the video information is combined into a single signal such as a TV broadcast.
		Component video is capable of producing signals such as 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p, but digital connections such as DVI (video only) and HDMI (which can also include up to 8 channels of audio) give better results at the higher resolutions (up to 1080p).

	Component Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The first component video was RGB since the three signals represented pure red content, pure green content, and pure blue content respectively which represent the sensitivities of the three kinds of color receptors in the human eye.
		Instead, component video was intended to carry, and in practice carries, full resolution for Y and lesser resolution for color as will be described later on.
		To optimize the construction of a video signal for transmission, and re-deriving RGB in the TV set, it was necessary that the color components vanish (tend to zero) as the actual "color" for a spot on the screen tended towards white or gray.

	S-Video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Separate video, abbreviated S-Video and also known as Y/C (or erroneously, S-VHS and "super video") is an analog video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals (brightness and colour), unlike composite video which carries the entire set of signals in one package.
		In composite video, the luminance signal is low-pass filtered to prevent crosstalk between high-frequency luminance information and the color subcarrier.
		Due to the separation of the video into brightness and colour components, S-Video is sometimes considered a type of component video signal, although it is also the most inferior of them, quality-wise, being far surpassed by the more complex component video schemes (like RGB).

		Analog Component Video -- Refers to a standard consisting of analog video signals transmitted on three wires, one for luminance (Y), one for the red component from which is subtracted the total luminance (R-Y), and one for the blue component from which is subtracted the total luminance (B-Y).
		Component Video -- Not to be confused with Composite video.
		Composite Video -- Refers to a video signal where both the luminance component and the color component(s) are transmitted on a single wire or broadcast in a limited bandwidth.

	Component Video Cables from Blue Jeans Cable
		Component video can be run at any resolution, unlike composite and s-video which are 480i formats, and, as a result of having the color signal split three ways (luminance and two color-difference signals), provides the best color rendition.
		Any component video cable, electrically speaking, is just a set of three cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr components of the signal; but most people prefer their component video cables to come in the form of a single bundle for neatness and ease of installation.
		Bundled component video cable is useful in applications where appearance and convenience of use are important, but unbundled cables--delivered as three separate cables of equal length--provide the same performance at lower cost.

	Component Video Cables -- A Guide
		Component video is a multiscan format, which is to say that it may be delivered, unlike composite or s-video, in however many lines and at whatever frame rate one wishes, in either interlaced or progressive scan modes.
		With full-blown HD component running at about 35 MHz, the wavelength of the signal, corrected for the speed of propagation in a high-quality coaxial cable, is about 24 feet, making even a six-foot component video cable a significant fraction of the wavelength and potentially a factor in signal quality.
		component video cable should all be of the same electrical length--which is to say, it should take a signal the same time to travel through each of them as it does to travel through the others.

		Component video is a video signal that is transmitted as several separate channels (as opposed to a composite video signal, such as NTSC or PAL, which is transmitted as a single signal).
		Most component video signals are a variation of the red, green and blue signals that make up a television image.
		Component digital video signals are sometimes referred to as 4:2:2, meaning that in an 8-bit environment, 4 bits are dedicated to the Y component while 2 bits each are dedicated to the B & R components.

	So what is Component Video anyway?
		The result is that the final video image on the screen is diminished—the picture is not as crisp and clean, and the colors aren't as accurate and rich as they would have been had the composite video compression been avoided.
		Because by using the yellow RCA video jacks, you are forcing your DVD player to down-convert all that great component video information on the DVD to lowly composite video in order to transmit it to your television or projector.
		The Y signal is the same as in the native component video format.

	Component Video Cables - The Definitive Guide
		To begin with, the primary purpose for 75-ohm component video cables is to conduct an AC video signal from a source (DVD player) to a load (TV monitor) with as little change to that signal as possible.
		Component video cables are composed of coaxial cables.
		However, if audio cables are used in place of component video cables, or poorly constructed component video cables are used that are not a true 75-ohm characteristic impedance, the lower impedance value of these cables may result in a partial signal reflection do to a mismatch in impedance, depending on the length of the cable.

	Component Video Cables
		Component video cables are used for the transmission of component video, often referred to as YUV, YPbPr or YCbCr.
		The use of component video cables for RGB causes the most confusion, firstly the two signal systems are not compatible, if you try to connect component video to RGB you will not get a picture.
		The problem with using component video cables for RGB is that most consumer electronic devices require a video sync or a horizontal and vertical sync, the only way a component video lead will work for RGB is if both devices can sync on green, often referred to as RGsB or RGB3.

		The component video connection allows each signal to pass through its own medium, allowing delivery of a reference-quality picture with the most precise color presentation.
		Although the RCA jacks are usually color coded (see picture) as red, green, and blue, component video is not the same as or interchangeable with the RGB connection.

	VGA to Component Video Cables from Blue Jeans Cable
		If you need a component video cable to connect an HD15 (also frequently referred to as a "VGA") plug to three RCA or BNC plugs--to run component video into a projector, for example--we have a couple of options for you.
		This extraordinary cable is a sort of junior version of Belden's superb full-sized precision video cables; each of the tiny coaxes in a 1522A bundle is fully shielded both in two-layered foil and with a dense tinned copper braid, and then the whole bundle is wrapped in an outer foil shield with drain wire.
		For component video, we connect three of these coaxes to the red, green and blue pins in the HD15 connector, and the shield braids to the grounding pins.

		Component: (Also known as Y U V, or Y Cr Cb) The best quality cable, comprising 3 coaxial wires, generally with BNC connections (but can also be integrated in a SCART cable).
		If you want to use a component video input, you may have to configure the receiver to map one such input to a specific channel, which would then route it to the component video output.
		The component video inputs are usually assignable to different channels and are often initially disabled to reduce video and/or audio noise levels (open inputs are a gift to EM noise).
