Component Cables

Component Video offers the best possible analog picture quality on the market today. Most high end DVD's & HDTV receivers/tuners are now using component cables. Component cables are comprised of three 75ohm RCA cables. The signal is split into three connections, Y, Cr, Cb or Y, Pr, Pb. Each connector is colour coded Red, Green and Blue.

Some projectors and HDTV receivers/tuners manufacturers have chosen to use a High Density 15-pin connector (HD15) instead of 3 RCA's or 3 BNC's because of space restrictions. In this case, a 15-pin (HD15) to 3xRCA breakout cable is required to connect to HDTV compatible screens. In some cases, when connecting a computer to a projector, a RGBHV cable may be needed.
