Aug 26, Jul 26, Jul 13, Jul 2, When given the option, go for component over composite every time because this connection will always provide a better picture at higher resolutions. The only practical use for composite video today is when using older equipment, such as older video game systems or VCRs, which do not support the component video format.
Because of this, some new HDTVs include at least one composite video input to make them compatible with old equipment. Component video splits the video signals into three cables — green, blue and red — with each transmitting a specific component of the video signal.
The green cable also called Y transmits the brightness information of the signal. Green components are inferred by a combination of all three signals. Since component video is spread across three separate cables, it does not need to be as compressed as composite video, allowing support for HD resolutions as high as , as well as progressive scan images that create smoother images with more defined edges. Component cables initially replaced composite as the de facto analog video cable, thanks to its improved picture quality and HD support.
Nearly all HDTVs made today have at least one set of component inputs. Component video is also supported by most video game consoles, DVD players, digital video recorders, cable set-top boxes and Blu-ray players. Component Limitations Component video cables are analog, just like composite cables. And also like composite cables they have inherit limitations that are tied to the analog format. Can I use RCA cables for component input? Category: home and garden home entertaining. The colours don't matter for those that miss the smiley at the end abbub's post, and are only there to prevent confusion.
How do I connect RCA to component? Does component carry audio? Is there a difference between audio and video RCA cables? Can yellow RCA be used for audio? Can I plug component into composite? Composite and Component Video Input Sharing. Is component as good as HDMI?
Is component and RGB the same? What is Y Pb Pr connections? Is component video digital or analog? Can audio RCA be used for video? At least, that's the common sense answer. Over such a short run as a 2 foot interconnect, measurable differences in cables such as capacitance, and high frequency roll-off are going to be so minimal as to be entirely theoritical, in my opinion as a former professional broadcast engineer.
Gold plating on cable connectors makes no difference if your component outputs are tinned connectors. Cheaper wires may be made of less flexible conductors, so in uses where they are frequently moved or reconnected, higher quality wires with better conductors and strain reliefs may be worth something, but for semi-permanent home connections, even this justification for more expensive cables is hard to make.
All of that is true except that in the case of HDTV signals a cheaper cable simply may not work. It's worth a try, but if you get a black screen you may need the more expensive cable. It's becoming a bit ridiculous trying to buy decently-priced audio or video cables at any big box or retail electronics outlet. Especially at Best Buy or Future Shop the latter being Canadian only cables are one of the highest-margin products in the entire store. Try to find an alternative: a smaller TV or electronics shop, perhaps independantly owned, or an electronics surplus store.
I tried this with a some random RCA cables and the video was always green or blue or had crazy lines running through it. I never did get component to work. Composite works fine.
Maybe someone more knowledgable can help us both. I'm hesitant on spending gobs of money on cables I cant return if this doesnt work. The answer is: maybe. Depends on the 'quality' of the RCA cables.
