Component video: For better signal clarity

Component video is a high-end video interface that can provide better clarity of signal than composite video and S-Video. As a result, users receive better picture quality. The component video interface comprises three RCA or coaxial jacks, one green, one red and one blue, requiring three cables. It carries visual data only while audio cables are still awaited. Component video, like composite and S-Video, is an analog interface; however, its three cables can preserve well the different elements of the video source signal.
In the case of regular television signals, VHS tapes and laserdiscs, inferior quality composite video is used for encoding visual data. On the other hand, a DVD player with component video outputs, when connected to a television with component video inputs, will provide a much better-quality picture than one using composite video connections. Composite video is also superior to S-Video as it is a multi-scan technology, which is capable of delivering the video stream in various modes to accommodate various frame rates for progressive-scan or interlaced televisions.
You can have component video cables in a number of different configurations. All three cables could be encased in a single sheath with triple tails at each end, or the cables may be bonded together. If three single RCA or coaxial cables are used, it is essential that they should be the same length and type. Better cable quality, tips and shielding will increase the price of the cables. Component video is, therefore, an interface that gives better performance than either composite video or S-Video.
