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 denition 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-dened.
• 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.
