Component 1/2 - 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. S-Video (AV1/AV2) - 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.
