Component - Component video provides a sharper image than composite video and S-video because the three video signals are transmitted via three separate channels.

(analog)

S-Video (AV1) - Combining the three video signals into two channels, S-Video provides a sharper image than Composite video, but is not as good as Component video.

Composite (AV1 & 2) - All three video signals are combined into one channel, thus making the image less sharp than Component or S-Video.
