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.

Full Scart

SCART connectors used with many European video equipments is designed to

 

carry composite video and RGB video signals. If the equipment which outputs

 

picture outputs RGB-signal, it will output RGB signal from the RGB pins and a

 

complete composite video signal at the same time.

Half Scart

Basically is the same as Full Scart in function but does not support RGB Video

 

signals.

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

 

480p 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 480i.

Cable Broadcast Receiver

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

(Converter)

to watch a various channels.
