HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard

NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,

color components. The signal

 

(analog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

carries horizontal and vertical sync information on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the green signal.

This is most commonly used for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PC input.

three signals, one containing the black-and-white

information and the other two containing the color

information. This enhancement over S-Video takes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

advantage of the superior picture provided by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

S-Video (AV2) - The video signal is separated into

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

two signals, one containing the black-and-white

Red

 

information and the other containing the color

 

(analog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

information. Separating the color in this way avoids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enables text to be displayed more sharply.

Composite (AV1/2) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video connection.
