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 A/V receiver and an

audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital

television (DTV), over a single cable.

DTV Coaxial RF.

When used for MPEG2 encoded

bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this

input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard

NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

Blue

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,

green and blue color components.

The signal

carries horizontal and vertical sync information on

the green signal.

This is most commonly used for

PC input.

Green

and

Purple

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.

S-Video (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.

Composite (AV1/2) - The complete video signal is

carried through this single (yellow) pin connector.

This is the most commonly used video connection.
