Description

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.

DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPEG2 encoded bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, green and blue color components. The signal carries horizontal and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.

Component1/2 - The video signal is separated into 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 (AV1) - The video signal is separated into two signals, one containing the black-and-white information and the other containing the color 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.
