Blue

 

RGB PC (VGA) – This is most commonly used

 

for PC input.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Component - Component video provides a

Green and

 

sharper image than composite video and S-

Purple

 

video because the three video signals are

 

 

transmitted via three separate channels.

 

 

S-Video (AV) - Combining the three video

 

 

 

 

signals into two channels, S-Video provides a

Yellow,

 

sharper image than Composite video, but is not

and

 

as good as Component video.

Red

 

 

 

 

Composite (AV) - All three video signals are

 

 

combined into one channel, thus making the

 

 

image less sharp than Component or S-Video.
