HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first
and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital
audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between
any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as
a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

most commonly used for PC input.

Component - The video signal is separated into three
signals, one containing the black-and-white information and
the other two containing the color information. This
enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the
superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD players
and HDTV formats.

AV/S-Video – 1. Composite: The complete video signal is
carried through this single (yellow) pin connector. This is
the most commonly used video connection. 2. S-Video:
The video signal is separated into two signals, one
containing the black-and-white information and the other
containing the color information. Separating the color in this
way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black
and white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also
enables text to be displayed more sharply.
