Also known as Separate Video, S-Video separates both black and white signals, in addition to colour, achieving higher quality images than Composite video — though it offers reduced colour resolutions in comparison to Component video.
Component video deals with analogue video signals that have been split into two or more component channels — typically transmitted or stored as three distinct signals. This is in contrast to the more basic, solitary line-level functioning of composite video.
This enables users to view Composite or S-Video signals in higher quality on a Component or VGA monitor at p or p — images that have been scaled to higher resolutions than natively offered by the older interfaces.

Thanks again. Post Number: Registered: Jan They're literally same. Digital data basically. BMPs are carried to your display where they are converted to analog. Literally 0 signal degredation. This is the analog connection for monitors. One holds the red data, one the green, one the blue and the other two hold synchronization data in analog format.
Is digitized by some types of displays and not by others. This looks like a red, green, and blue-colored version of composite. One holds the luminance total brightness and a synch, one holds the red - luminance data, and one holds the blue - luminance.
The display uses simple math to determine the missing luminance which is necessary green data, and convert the image into RGB which is what VGA already has. Note that this only has 1 synch while VGA has 2.
This is the strange connection a circular head and pins. The highly underrated signal carrier. Uses two leads. One holds the luminance total brightness, and the other holds both the red - luminance and the blue - luminance. I can't remember which line holds the synch, but it doesn't really matter. The most common connection for standard definition video.
This is the one yellow wire you always get. This carries the luminance overall brightness, sync pulses, and color all in one cable. Really terrible, in my opinion.
Channel 3 or channel 4? This is the sharp, old-school connection your NES probably used and the one you probably still use though typically in digital mode for your TV connection assuming you don't have satellite. Posted on Monday, December 11, - GMT i doubt many people who seek for the best possible picture would use the xbox for playing basic dvds as the picture quality is aweful on vga and component anyway. As for the higher resolution, they are only upscaled anyway, a poor mans HD-DVD, and like i said, playback is very poor.
However, for the one that matters more, HD-DVD outputs on rgb and component at resolutions up to p. Can anyone tell me if the connections are compatible.
Any help will be appreciated. With my personal expirence VGA is better than Componet for games Im able to see much further in the map on COD3 than with componet and its MUCH clearer, but when it comes to movies componet looks alot better its smoother not as sharp as you want for a game so thats my 2 cents on the issue.
I have tried all resolutions, vga looses the High definition gloss that i like from using component at p. An example is the pgr garage, with vga its so grainy and washed out, brightness levels are all over the place and i need to change lots of contrast, brightness and colour adjustments, and even after all that its still crap. Its not my tv as ive connected my pc up and that looks bearable, its the fact that xbox vga is far inferior to that of a bog standard graphics card.
Microsoft tried fixing this with software updates, but its still not right, my plasma shows every tiny fault in the xbox vga picture and the result is an eyesore. And im not the only one that has this issue. Posted on Friday, December 15, - GMT hmmm thats werid it maybe becuz your on a plasma I dont know, I never liked plasma TV's all that much I guess thats just personal preference.
Im not saying plasma is bad but I think games look better on a LCD. Are you using a microsoft VGA cable? Post Number: Registered: Dec Now the signal looks nice and all, but the projector is i compatible. So this leads me to my next question, Do I need to connect via the DVI connection to view the picture in i?
I cannot get the tv to recognize and play DVDs from the Laptop. Each time while in the menu of the TV it shuts off while in the "PC" area. I am using 15 point cable connection from the laptop to the pc input on the tv. Any sggestions I have a four year old and a six year old waitng to watch movies!
Now here are my takes on both sides. Component- Better colors, but had slightly more edges and jaggedness VGA- again it had less edges and jaggedness. Color looked terrible. It was like comparing a pair of brand new jeans to a pair that had been washed for 20 years lol. But again my TV only let be adjust the brightness, contrast, and color tone, not the color, sharpness or tint. I tweaked with the setting for about 45 minutes and came to the conclusion that for me, component was far better than vga for the XBOX And for Budapest, I'm assuming that you are using windows.
Go to start-control panel im using the classic view -Display-Settings- Now mess around with the resolution. Thats the only thing i could think of. Good luck. I'm not that much into gaming. The problem is the guys at shop wont allow me to try it on their store. Its like that everywhere here India.
If anyone has experience with a similar setup with both VGA and component plz advice. Right now I'm inclined towards VGA. Thanks, Punith. You should just buy a vga cable and test them out yourself. I have a samsung and the component worked out the best for me. Posted on Friday, December 29, - GMT I totally agree with you Emmanuel, for me also component for xbox wins every time easily, yet some here seem to think vga is better although most are just posting general comparisons, and not directly related to the xbox , better off buying both cables and judging for yourself.
Posted on Sunday, December 31, - GMT I have a similar question and have seen opposing views about this on other boards. Running the s-video will allow me to keep the DVD player with all my other equipment; running the component will force me to put the DVD player on top of the TV which my wife would prefer I do not do. So, it is important that I know if there really is a difference worth moving my DVD player for. Otherwise, the image quality will be lower, but not terrible.
I have an xbox with component output.. My goal is to take the signal and split it.. Here is what I'm wondering: 1. In general..
VGA splitting, a powered device.. My situation.. I can then take the one VGA output and "re"convert it back to component to send it to my component TV's inputs With this crazy setup.. In my case the TV image on each end would be something along the lines of a P size image or about x max resolution. I guess the alternative is to just use a VGA swtich and manually select one room or the other depending on which room I'm in Any tips or thoughts would be great..
Anyone confirmed this? I guess if your planning on using the for movies VGA will result in higher resolutions, but the colors will be washed out.. That being said, if you are running P or i to the TV then all signals will upconverted anyway. If you get the VGA cable, it will still output in the resolution set in the dashboard. You will still have an analog signal no matter how you connect the to your tv.
Protect Hollywood at all costs right? I decided to wait until the technology slows down and a format is agreed upon in the marketplace. Hence VGA would give you more of the picture I suppose I think it involved setting the resolution higher than normal x? Posted on Tuesday, January 09, - GMT mark - a slight degradation would be measured however i doubt this would be detected by the human eye, if you use a decent splitter.
Joseph - please note that until planet earth fails to revolve around the sun, technology will never slow down. We will want to view digital pictures from an HP Pavilion laptop. There seems to be varied opinions on which cable to get VHS aka S. Any limitation on length of a vga cable? I'm going about 39 feet.. I also have component devices like my cable box and a DVD which can do HDMI, but from what i've read there isnt a noticeable difference..
Component cable issues at certain lengths, or depends on quality of cable or better off converting to Coax cable with BNC connectors for 38 feet?
I'm also going to use a 2 port HDMI switch from MonoPrice, which generally has good quality, unless someone knows of a better switch? I'll run VGA from my I wont be using it as a dvd player.. Total length of all cabling will be around 38 feet, maybe less.
I was going to go with the in wall 24awg gauge HDMI cable from MonoPrice they dont seem to have a non in wall variety at the same gauge. They also dont have an inbetween length..
I dont know which is the better idea, 2 seperate 20 foot cables, or one longer 50 foot say 10' more than needed.. Double shielded 3 coax, 4 twisted pair.. I'm assuming this should be good quality, again, not sure whether to get two 20' footers or a single 50' length. However some people insist that the picture is far inferior I personally disagree with them. However, there are a lot of gamers Posted on Friday, February 09, - GMT or because vga is analog, and my tv only accepts dvi-d duallink, then i would have to get a vga to dvi-i, then dvi-i to dvi-d dual link?
Posted on Monday, April 23, - GMT boy o boy is it interesting listening to some of the "experts" rattling on this site Let me clear up a couple topics: anytime you can maintain signal "purity" in the transmission from one device to another you will maintain the quality of that signal at the destination.
Adlai got most of the info right on his post about the various signals. The 1V Y signal includes a 0. The U and V color difference video signals have a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.
Thus, making it ideal for use in computing rather than home entertainment. Thunderbolt is an interface commonly found on Apple computers, iMacs, and MacBooks. Intel developed the standard with support from Apple as a means to connect peripherals to your computer. The connection made its debut with the launch of the edition of the MacBook Pro and is still commonplace on the company's hardware.
If you own an Apple computer, it might be worth checking out the best Thunderbolt accessories for your Mac. Like other video connections, Thunderbolt cables integrate other technologies into a single device. Thunderbolt specifications have been integrated into USB standards across the years.
However, performance will be limited as USB-C cables don't support the same rates of data transfer or power. When a new technology hits the market, manufacturers compete to make their version the global standard. This is why there are so many video cable connection types that are still in use today.
However, standardization is possible. In the mids, each cell phone would come with a proprietary charger. The same is true of video standards, where HDMI has become the most common connection.
What's the best connection? With televisions, HDMI is the most common connector. Each connection has its pros and cons, and perhaps the best cable to use with your display is more than just "what it came with. Before we start, it's important to note that with the exception of VGA, all the other connections here are digital. So while the pixel resolution potentials vary with each connection, the quality otherwise does not.
The logical extension of this is that the cables themselves also don't make a difference, in terms of picture "quality. It's easy to use, the cables are cheap , and best of all, it carries audio. It will save you lots of hassle. HDMI has limitations, though, and isn't always the perfect choice. If you've gotten a new 4K monitor, you're limited to 30fps. Not until HDMI 2. You'll also need new hardware and probably a new TV.
So in most cases HDMI is fine, but for really high resolutions and frame rates, one of these other options might be better. DisplayPort DisplayPort is a computer connection format. There is only one television with DisplayPort , and don't expect it to see much further adoption on the TV side.
