Component (or YPbPr) connector: Component connectors split the signal into three parts and consist of color-coded red, green, and blue cables. This connection gives a superior image over composite or S-video connections. Composite (or RCA) connector: Composite or RCA connectors are the most common video connectors and the lowest quality. They transmit the entire video signal through one cable. Typically, the connectors are color-coded: red for right channel audio, white for left channel audio, and yellow for video. Digital television (DTV): Digital television, TV signals that are broadcast in digital format. Digital signals, composed of coded instructions that are deciphered by a digital receiver, are superior to analog transmissions because they are not affected by signal strength, provide better resolu | | Class Format Aspect Ratio High Definition (HDTV) 720p or 1080i 16:9 Enhanced Definition (EDTV) 480p 4:3 or 16:9 Standard Definition (SDTV) 480i 4:3 or 16:9 DVI connector: A DVI cable resembles a standard VGA cable, but DVI is slightly larger. DVI is the preferred source for HDTV signals because it requires the fewest encoding/decoding steps. DVI's digital format provides higher-quality images than analog. Enhanced definition television (EDTV): Enhanced definition television, a digital TV format with a 480p resolution and aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9. EDTV, using progressive scan methods, is a step up from standard definition TV (SDTV) but lower quality than high definition TV (HDTV). Interlaced scanning: A method of displaying images from a video signal on a television screen. With interlaced scanning, half the vertical lines (odd lines) on the screen are filled in first, then the other half (even lines) for a complete image. (See also progressive scanning.) Nit: A unit of measurement of brightn | | Plasma TVs have superior image quality across large screen sizes and are free of distortion around the screen edges, are brighter than liquid crystal displays (LCDs), permit a wide viewing angle (up to 160 degrees), and are not affected by magnetic fields. One disadvantage of plasma TVs is their susceptibility to image retention or screen burn. Progressive scanning: A method of displaying images from a video signal on a television screen. With progressive scanning, the vertical lines on the screen are filled in sequentially, rather than in two passes as with interlaced scanning. (See also interlaced scanning.) S-video: S-video, or super-video, a video signal divided into separate channels for brightness and color. S-video connections provide sharper images and better color definition than composite connections. |
