While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP Controller, the examples shown above are the most common.

• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT:

Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to composite video, such as some VCR’s and cam- corders; others such as Laser Disc players actually produce slightly better results when using com- posite video.

• S-VIDEO INPUT

S-video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than composite video. Using such sources as Satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no component output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal.

• COMPONENT INPUT

Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that component be used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-video in picture quality; chroma (color) informa- tion is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.

• PASS-THROUGH

This input is used to ‘pass-through’ any high-definition or computer signals that do not require pro- cessing. The signal by-passes the PFP Controller’s processing and is sent directly to the display. The pass-through may be used for COMPONENT or RGB outputs from a DTV decoder, a progres- sive-scan DVD player or RGB outputs from a computer or other high-resolution sources.
