Choosing A Standard Video Signal

This section describes the three standard video options.

Component Video. Choose the component connection for video monitors that have component (YPbPr or YCbCr) connections. Component video is the most accurate standard video signal, using three wires to convey luminance, red minus luminance, and blue minus luminance signals. These signals bypass television circuitry required to process S-video signals, eliminating cross-color contami- nation and resulting in more reliable, correct color.

S-Video.Choose the S-video connection for video monitors that have S-video connections but do not have component connections. S-video separately transmits the color and luminance components of the video signal but does not use three separate wires as does com- ponent video. The S-video signals bypass television circuitry required by composite video, reducing cross-contamination of color and black and white signals, and reducing video noise.

Composite Video. Choose the composite connection for video mon- itors that are not equipped with component video or S-video.
