HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all- digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard

NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best

green and blue

color components. The signal

 

(analog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

carries horizontal and vertical sync information on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the green signal.

This is most commonly used for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PC input.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Component 1/2 - The video signal is separated into

Green

 

three signals, one

containing

the black-and-white

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

information and the

other two

containing the color

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and

 

 

(analog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

information. This enhancement over S-Video takes

advantage of the superior picture provided by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

S-Video (AV2) - The video signal is separated into

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

two signals, one containing the black-and-white

 

Good

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red

 

information and the other containing the color

 

(analog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

information. Separating the color in this way avoids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enables text to be displayed more sharply.

Yellow

AV1 (Composite) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video connection.
