Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is the best video connection that I can use for my TV monitor?

There are three video options that you have. The best connection really depends on what your Television has for inputs.

• The original connection was the AV composite video input (Yellow connection) is a one-channel signal that combines information about chrominance, luminance, picture, and sync. This is the most common connector.
• The S-video (also known as Y/C) produces a higher-quality picture than RCA composite because it splits up the chroma and luminance information into two separate signals.
• Component Video, known as analog RGB. Originally found only in professional video equipment, component video splits up the signal into red, green, and blue channels. As a result component video input provides the highest-quality video signal.
• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) This high-bandwidth interface supports not only brilliant digital video, but digital audio as well. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. . In addition, HDMI enables a single remote point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that automatically configure from a single command from a remote control -- turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV. This is the highest quality connection to use if your devices support them.
