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.

streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this input
takes advantage of the High Definition content.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,
green and blue color components. The signal carries
horizontal and vertical sync information on the green
signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.

Yellow
Component1/2 - 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.
Good
(analog)
Red
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.
Composite (AV) - The complete video signal is carried
through this single pin connector. This is the most
commonly used video connection.
