VIZIO P50 HDM User Guide Chapter 2 - Connecting Components 2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use? The VIZIO P50 HDM Plasma Monitor has four different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic one to the most advanced for digital displays. Connection Quality Connector Color Codes for Description Rear Panel Basic Yellow and Orange AV1/AV2 (Composite) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video connection. Good Better Best 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. Green and Blue Analog HD1/HD2 (Component) - 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. White Digital HD1/HD2 (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 AV receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.
