High-quality Component Video (YPbPr) and “VGA” (RGBHV) Equipment
Some of your Source equipment and Displays may have an analog video output that is
called Component Video. Component Video is a three-wire video format, with the video
signals typically labeled YPbPr. Another common analog video output format is RGB (like
the “VGA” outputs on your computer), which typically has separate H&V sync signals.
The KD-CDA3 HDTV Distribution Amplifier has one (1) bank of RCA-type Input connectors,
and three (3) banks of RCA-type Output connectors. Each of the RCA connectors are color
coded to match most “Source” and “Display” devices available in the consumer industry;
Red, Green and Blue for Component Video; White, and Red for left and right audio respec-
tively (PCM audio can be distributed by using either the left or right audio channel).
Typical Connectors Color-code
*Note: H Sync may also be Yellow on some Source and Sync products
**Note: These are the colors on the KD-CDA3 RCA connectors; however, the corresponding
colors on your Source and Sink products may vary
