While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your DHD Controller, the examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by Runco.

• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT

Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders. Others, such as Laser Disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video. While the DHD Controller has an excellent decoder for Composite video, it is recommended that Composite video be used only if necessary.

• S-VIDEO INPUT

S-Video is an improved video input over composite video. Using such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (that have no Component output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Video signal decoder artifacts that are associated with Composite video (dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non- existent when using S-Video.

• COMPONENT INPUT

Component video is the best type of standard definition signal that can be used. The most common sources that use Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.

• HD1/HD2

All analog HDTV signals must be input into this port. It may also be used for other high-resolution signals such as progressive DVD players or analog (VGA or better) computer video.
