Component video

Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals

 

and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color

 

accuracy than composite video or S-VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate

 

portions.

Composite video

Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color

 

shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.

S-VIDEO

S-VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color

 

(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S-VIDEO provides better resolution

 

than composite video, which carries the signals together.

480i

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first

 

transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines.

480p

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which

 

transmits each line from top to bottom.

720p

Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which

 

transmits each line from top to bottom.

1080i

Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which

 

first transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. 1080i is one

 

of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).

Digital television (DTV)

A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV

 

provides higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.

HDTV(High Definition TV)

HDTV is a new kind of digital TV, creating a high quality picture, high definition. The

 

HDTV provides a theater-like screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Supports 720p or

 

higher.

SDTV(Standard Definition TV)

SDTV is a new kind of standard definition digital TV, having a range of lower resolution

 

than the HDTV. Supports 480p.

Cable Broadcast Receiver

A device that receives cable broadcasting. Connecting it to your TV set allows you to

(Converter)

watch a various channels.

Satellite Broadcasting

Provides crisp picture and clear audio quality throughout the country via a satellite.

VHF/UHF

VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 30 to 300

 

megahertz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 300

 

to 3,000 megahertz.
