Video signal information

Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output.

Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic elements of a video picture; color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video component transmits these three elements combined.

S-Video signal

With the S-Video signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S-Video cable. Using the

S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images.
