Video to VGA Converter with Component Input AC212A
Component video.
Traditional Composite video standards—NTSC, PAL, or
SECAM—combine luminance (brightness), chrominance
(color), blanking pulses, sync pulses, and color burst
information into a single signal.
Another video standard—S-Video—separates luminance
from chrominance to provide some improvement in video
quality.
But there’s a new kind of video called Component video
appearing in many high-end video devices such as TVs and
DVD players. Component video is an advanced digital format
that separates chrominance, luminance, and synchronization
into separate signals. It provides images with higher resolution
and better color quality than either traditional Composite
video or S-Video. There are two kinds of Component video: Y-
Cb-Cr and Y-Pb-Pr. Y-Cb-Cr is often used by high-end DVD
players. HDTV decoders typically use the Y-Pb-Pr Component
video signal.
Many of today’s high-end video devices such as plasma
televisions and DVD players actually have three sets of video
connectors: Composite, S-Video, and Component. The easiest
way to improve picture quality on your high-end TV is to
simply connect it using the Component video connectors
rather than the Composite or S-Video connectors. Using the
Component video connection enables your TV to make use of
the full range of video signals provided by your DVD player or
cable box, giving you a sharper image and truer colors.
To use the Component video built into your video devices,
all you need is the right cable. A Component video cable has
three color-coded BNC connections at each end. For best
image quality, choose a high-quality cable with adequate
shielding and gold-plated connectors.
