Component Video Cable will allow you to get an excellent picture from your video source to your television. The video cable is split into three separate signals of red, green, and blue for optimal clarity and picture quality.

Typically most televisions are connected by a black coax cable. This is the old traditional cable that most homes are wired for. It delivers an acceptable picture, but there are several better options for routing video. The next step up is composite video, which is the yellow RCA plug that most VCRs and DVD players provide. Some older television sets do not have a composite video input, but this is solved with a RF modulator. Composite video typically comes with stereo analog connections, which are red and white RCA plugs.

The next step up is S-video which splits the black and white portions of the video signal into two different signals. This provides better contrast between dark and bright lines. Most DVD players and satellite receivers are equipped with an S-Video output.

A better quality cable is component video, which splits the red, green, and blue into separate video signals. This produces an excellent picture. The color is typically more vibrant. The clarity is crisp and the contrast is sharp. These cables also can transmit high definition video which is an easy integration when you are ready to update to HD Television.
