On devices with component video inputs and outputs, the connections may also carry the designations of Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. What these initials mean is that the red and blue cables carry the color information of the video signal. In contrast, the green cable carries the black and white or "luminance" brightness portion of the video signal. Component video is flexible.
Even though the cable connections pass analog video, the capabilities are more extensive than composite video connections as they are technically able to pass resolutions up to p and can also pass video signals that are either interlaced or progressive. However, due to copy-protection requirements, the high-definition capabilities of component video connections phased out on January 1, , via the Image Constraint Token.
The Image Constraint Token is a signal encoded on a content source, such as a Blu-ray Disc, that detects the use of component video connections. The token can then disable high-definition p, i, p signal pass-through on unauthorized devices, such as a TV or video projector.
However, this restriction doesn't affect content sources that existed before the implementation of this limitation. The way the shared input works is with modification of the TV's video input circuitry to accommodate both a composite and component video source connection and associated analog audio input.
In this setup, component video cables connect normally. Still, you can also use the Green component video input connection to connect a composite video connection. However, with this type of shared configuration, you can't plug in both a composite and component video signal source with associated analog stereo audio to the TV at the same time.
If you have a home theater receiver that provides composite, S-video, or component video input options, as well as analog-to-HDMI conversion with video upscaling, connect all video sources and associated analog audio to the receiver. If you still need to plug older AV gear, make sure that when shopping for a new home theater receiver, that has the connection options you need. Due to increased copy-protection, DVD recorders are not as practical for recording TV programs as they were when they first came out, and are now very hard to find.
With all the changes in how you access home entertainment, what lies ahead? The other is where I'm having a problem. I am trying to connect it to my DVD Recorder, which only have composite inputs. So I used a composite cable to connect the cable converter to my DVD recorder. After doing this, my DVD recorder shows the picture from the cable converter but has no sound.
I have it correctly attached with red and white connected to red and white on both systems. Am I doing anything wrong?
I presume you guys are suggesting what I'm doing is possible. I asked people at work and they said its probably not possible. So please let me know if I understand you guys correctly. Also any suggestions on how I can correct this would be appreciated. Thanks Irvin. Sep 11, 0 18, 0. Feb 24, 4, 0 22, 9. Nov 23, 1, 0 19, 1. Aug 29, 0 18, 2. Yeah, it WILL work. Just as another poster on here already said- the cables are the same; just with different-colored connecters.
Except, I don't really see any big difference; looks like the same quality as before when I was running the "old-fashioned" rca jacks. Oh well, I figured I may as well put those lazy component outputs to work!
Besides, I had all of this money burning a hole in my pocket Assman Distinguished. Jan 7, 2, 0 19, Dec 20, 0 18, 0. Been doing it for a year, no difference but of course you will find someone that will argue against it. Guest Guest. Hi, I see there are many opinions on this so I just want to confirm with a little more detail.
If I have a VGA to component red, green, blue cable or a DVI to component cable, can I do the following: VGA out from computer to composite TV in using component red to composite red, component green to composite white, and component blue to composite yellow?
Also, the same connection using a DVI to component cable. I presume there will be a quality decline but not so much as I don't actually require a true digital quality video. I am happy with the analog quality so I just want to be sure this will work before I purchase these cables.

I am battling to get a picture. I have tried this with my DSTV as well and get the same result. Is it not possible to use Component connections on the tv with composite cables? I have read on other forums that this should be possible and I was able to get this working on a friends tv.
I have a LG 42LM Please could someone help me. Noob-Noob Executive Member. Joined Feb 1, Messages 6, VioletF Senior Member. Joined Jul 22, Messages Can composite video plug into component? Can you plug component cables into composite input? How do you put AV cable in component? What is an AV input on a TV? What are component cables for a TV? Can Dreamcast output p?
