4.1 Connecting the Primary TV
Hydra offers several options for connecting audio and video to popular TV and audio equipment.
Connect Hydra to the primary TV using composite, S-Video or component connection. You may also
connect the Hydra to the primary TV using coaxial cable connection.
Connect the primary TV with the highest quality video output method possible, going down this list of
possible connections in order:
Component Provides the highest quality signal and is not available on all TV sets. The customer must
provide the cables for this type of connection, as they are not included as part of the
Hydra kit.
S-Video
Offers better picture quality than composite or coaxial because it uses the connector on a
shielded cable to separate the different parts of a video signal. The customer must
provide the S-Video cable for this type of connection, as it is not included as part of the
Hydra kit. You will also need a composite cable to carry the audio if you use this option.
Composite Has connectors on each end to route video and audio from one device to another. There
are three wires in a composite cable; yellow carries video, red and white carry the two
channels of audio.
Coaxial
Choose this cable if the TV supports only this type of connection or if the distance from
the Hydra to the TV is too long to use S-Video or composite cables.
