entranceWhat a component cable is needed. Video outputs: Types of connectors where the component video transmission format is applied
And hello everyone again)
Speech will again go about the Psone console.
Last time I talked about the drive for this console.
Well, if we have a working prefix, you need to get a beautiful picture on the TV.
Found the real SCART RGB cable for it.
About him and other cables and there will be a conversation.
UPD: By the way, this cable not only gives a good picture, another function works with it)))
I wanted to somehow get a better picture on a TV with a console.
Connected the prefix through the composite audio video cable. And if on the old TV and it looked fine, then the new is not very - the picture is blurred and tremble, the colors are not very juicy. 
Very often came across such a cable, component video. 
But before buying, I decided to read on the forums, as and how. And not in vain.
PlayStation 1 consoles do not know how to make component video. This cable is only for PS2.
For PS1 options are:
-composite audio video cable (worst option)
-
-Scart RGB cable (considered the best option for PS1)
S-Video had to discard, because There is no such entry in my TV. You can only connect, but it is unknown that at the output of this adapter will be, it can only transmit a composite signal.
SCART RGB could not find everything, of course, but with a very expensive delivery, not from China.
And, yes, not any SCART cable for PlayStation transmits the RGB signal, most transmits only a composite video and sound. We must carefully read the product description.
And finally, I was caught by the desired cable with delivery from China.
The seller issued a tracking number. 
And here is the cable itself. 
The cable is not very soft. There are no inscriptions on the cable. There are no ferrite filters.
Connected without inserting the disk launched the console.
If with a composite cable connection, you had to switch to the composite video manually, then the SCART cable the TV itself switches to the SCART input as soon as the prefix is \u200b\u200bturned on.
The difference has already seen on the boot screen. 
No, this is not a hand shook, the camera stood on the tripod, the picture on the left is that there is a blurred image from a composite cable.
Especially informed ripple, which was clearly visible around the text.
More photos.
Composite: 
RGB: 
It is clearly seen that the colors have become a little more juicy, the picture is clear.
Well, that's all, thank you all for your attention, everyone good luck, everyone
Switching video compassion complex
We continue the conversation. In this article, it will be discussed about switching video signals between sources and devices (devices) of the display. The types of video signals and, of course, the problem of making self-made cables will also be considered.
Cables
In fact, regardless of the type of analog video signal (composite, S-Video, RGB, component), a constructive conductor is a coaxial cable with a wave resistance of 75 ohms. Depending on the type of video signal, such a cable may be either one or to transmit a signal to several such cables.
Nevertheless, there is a huge number of species of the practical implementation of this design. The central conductor can be a thick copper mono-coat, can consist of a variety of thin copper or copper with silverly lived, and so on. The screen can be solitary, double and even triple, can consist of wire or from wire in combination with foil or foil plastic. The cable itself can be rather impressive and thick, and can be quite thin and unspoic. In general, there are many options here. And the most interesting thing is to say for sure which design ensures that the high quality image is guaranteed when the analog video signal is transmitted is quite difficult - each manufacturer has its own ways and proprietary technologies. Some manage to make excellent cables consisting of only a stranded copper conductor and one copper screen. And someone makes a super-trimmed cable using expensive materials, and the image quality does not justify hope, given the considerable cost of such a cable. That is, when choosing a cable to exclude the "image factor", blindly trusting the phrase "expensive means qualitatively" is not worth it. However, not everything is so scary, since most of the well-known "corersters" have a completely well-deserved reputation as a bona fide manufacturer, which means that if you buy a cable from a well-known manufacturer who has proven itself well in the production of cables, it is hardly wrong. At least it is better than buying a cable of an unknown manufacturer, who, according to the seller in the market, "much more steeper all these fashionable brand."
Can I have at least a few examples of proven video cable manufacturers?
Supra, Wire World, Straight Wire, Canare, Monitor Cable, QED, IXOS, LIBERTY. Of course, this is not a list, but "on the obrad" named stamps. I remembered how you understand, not all ...
Types and ways to transfer analog video signal
Composet
Since the most popular is a relatively inexpensive video equipment and budget-class TVs, the greatest popular population has a way to transmit video signal, where all its components are transmitted in a mixed form one single coaxial cable. Such a video signal is called Composite (Composite Video). And if in the era of domination VHS-cassettes such a way to transfer the video signal could be considered quite acceptable in quality, since the VHS-cassette itself (in comparison with DVD, for example), does not boast a high-quality clear image, then with the arrival of inexpensive DVD players Composite video signal If it was not doomed to death, at least he began to go to the latter even in the class of budget equipment (in an expensive household video equipment, it was not used for a long time). Now the composite video output has only VHS players / tape recorders (actually, except for the composite, other low-frequency video outputs have never been and there will be no), and the karaoke console. The overwhelming majority of other devices, such as DVD players, modern camcorders, satellite receivers, and so on, have no higher-quality video outputs, where the video signal components are transmitted separately from each other. Although, in most modern devices, the composite video output is still present in order not to deprive the user's capabilities to connect the device to the "less advanced" display devices. For example, many modern TVs with small screen diagonals (14 "-21"), not to mention the previously released models, are still a composite video input.
Usually, the output and input of the composite video signal is made in the form of the RCA-colored RCA (in the photo connector in the lower left corner), or can be transmitted via universal.
The cable used to transmit the composite video signal is 1 coaxial cable with RCA connectors ("Tulip") at the ends.
S-video
This type of video signal provides separate transmission of the brightness signal (Y) and the two combined color signals (C) by independent cables. The standard 4-pin connector is standard for this type of connection. S-VIDEO transmission can be organized through SCART
Compared to the composite video signal, the connection via S-Video provides some winnings in the definition and stability of the image, to a lesser extent - in the color rendering. However, these improvements will be noticeable only when using a high-quality source (DVD player, high-quality satellite receiver and so on), together with the screen, a large diagonal (25 "or more). When the TV screen is diagonally 21 "(and less) the difference between the composite video signal and the S-Video may not be so obvious, since there is already a lot depends on the quality of the TV itself.
Component
Or other name - colorless (y "PBPR or other YUV, YIQ). For the transmission of components, three independent coaxial cables are used, where a signal is transmitted by one cable (y) in the ratio of 0.299R + 0.5876g + 0.114V, another (PR) - red minus brightness (RY), and in the third (BR) - blue minus brightness (BY). Connectors at the ends of the cable are usually RCA or BNC..
But how usually the component video output of the DVD player looks like.
The quality of the picture when connected via component is fundamentally (for the better) differs from S-Video and even more so composite. Here improvements are visible immediately: the picture is more clear and stable with accurate color reproduction. Especially obvious will be the advantages of the component connection when using high-quality video sources and large screens (TVs 29 "-36", good plasma panels, projectors with a large screen).
RGB.
In this case, a separate transfer of three primary colors and synchronization signals is used. To be accurate, then called this type of RGBS video signal (Red, Green, Blue, Sync). Transmission of information occurs on independent cables. These can be 3 or 4 separate coaxial cables (in the case of 3 cables, the synchronization signal goes along with green) with connectors RCA or BNC. or RGBS can be transmitted through.
There is also an even more complex variety of RGB, where not 3 or 4, and 5 cables are used to transmit signals, since horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are transmitted separately from each other. This species is called - RGBHV (Red, Green, Blue, H-Sync, V-Sync). In the SCART cable, it is not possible to meet RGBHV, because individual coaxial cables with connectors are usually used for such a video. RCA or BNC. or one VGA cable (On the one hand, the BNC connectors may also be present (in the photo)).
By the way, it is RGBHV that is used to transmit a signal from the video card of the system block of your computer to an analog monitor - look at how much the picture is clean, clear and stable.
Frequently asked Questions:
How can the above-described standards for transferring an analog video signal in the image quality plan?
In ascending order:
- composite (Composite Video)
- S-video
- component (Component Video)
- RGBHV.
But this is if you abstract from practical implementation. Although, of course, a component or RGB with any defold is better than S-Video or, especially, composite. But between Component and RGBS (SCART), the difference as a picture is often unobtable. Often, the connection according to the component is even more optimal, since, as already mentioned, RGBS is usually implemented via SCART, the quality of the conductors of which can yield to individual coaxials applied in the component cable. In addition, SCART is not very long, and this is often required when, say, the installation of the projector on the ceiling or installation of the couch with the equipment away from the plasma panel or TV. Well, finally, many plasma panels and SCART projectors "Ami simply not equipped.
And RGBS via SCART will be an excellent solution in case of connection, say, DVD player to a closely located TV with a large screen or plasma panel (many modern plasma panels are perfectly "understood" not only RGBHV, but also RGBS - this will require a special SCART cable - 4 BNC or SCART - 4 RCA).
So both options (Component Video and RGBS) provide a very high image quality, simply each option is convenient for certain cases (depends on the installation and switching capabilities of the equipment). But if you have concerned with the connection of a high-class projector to the high-quality DVD player, and to improve the quality of the picture, you plan to use and the scoleler, too, it is already worth viewing in the direction of RGBHV, or to use the digital connection (SDI or DVI) of the source to the processing and display device .
Are there RGB converters in Component Video or back?
Yes there is. However, the price of such devices is very high, so it's easier to pick up a source immediately (DVD player, satellite receiver, etc.) and display device (TV, plasma panel, projector) to connect them directly without any converters.
Are there any S-Video converters in Composite Video or back?
In the case of conversion of a composite signal in S-Video, you only solve the problem of compatibility of switched devices - the image quality from such a conversion will not improve. Often, such converters are built into S-VHS VCRs, or in high-class AV receivers. There are also individual devices.
In the case of converting S-VIDEO to the composite signal, you are noticeably losing as a picture. True, for small screens (14 "-21" diagonally) this problem is practically not relevant. You can make such a converter in a few minutes:
What is the difference between S-VHS cable from s-video?
S-VHS is not a cable, but video casket format. The cable is one name - S-Video, although, unfortunately, sellers in many stores call it for some reason S-VHS, which testifies only to their incompetence.
Does the SCART connector on the TV or the source of the RGB presence in this SCART "E?
Not. The fact is that the composite video signal and RGBS, and S-Video can be transmitted via SCART. Plus, the sound and service teams. Therefore, it is not necessary that RGB is present in the SCART-output of the device or SCART input. Find out simply: to look into the instructions for the device. Either conduct a visual inspection of the rear panel of the device: often over the SCART connector write "SCART (RGB)". However, they do not always write, but in the instructions this information is necessary.
More information about the SCART connector can be obtained from. However, I can calm down: almost all modern TVs of large diagonals, if equipped with SCART connectors, then one or two of them will be accurately with RGB. As for DVD players, almost all modern models with SCART "Ohm allows you to withdraw through it and RGB. But it is better to specify, just in case ...I have only one SCART with RGB in my TV to "give it": DVD player or DVB satellite receiver (say, NTV +)?
If the picture from the satellite receiver does not go in HDTV format (high-definition television), then the RGB is better to connect the DVD player, and the satellite receiver is s-video. Karaoke and VHS video amagitophone - according to the composite, of course.
Does the quality of the picture do not harm the video switch via AV receiver?
Most modern AV receiver switches from well-known manufacturers do not make visible interference in the video signal. Moreover, in most cases, the highest quality source of the video signal (the overwhelming majority of people has a DVD player) is usually connected to a TV (plasma panel, projector) directly. Switch through the AV receiver is often only composite video signals and S-Video.
What s-video cable is worth buying?
If the cable is needed to connect the S-VHS of the VCR or relatively inexpensive satellite receiver (say, NTV +) to the TV diagonal TV to 29, "then you can safely limit yourself to an inexpensive cable for $ 10-15 (for the finished cable with a length of 0.7-1, 5 meters). If you have a high-quality TV with a large screen to which you want to connect, say, a DVD player (taking into account that neither RGB, nor connecting the component is available in your case), then you should pay attention to better cables for $ 25- 40. Also, the quality of the cable is considerable if the S-Video will need a cable longer than 4-5 meters.
What is the SCART cable to connect the DVD-Platter on RGB to buy?
To connect to a TV 21 "-25", quite a sufficiently inexpensive cable for $ 15-20 (Hama, Monitor Cable, Bandrige, etc.). If you have a decent TV with a diagonal of 29 "-36", then it is better to buy a cable class not lower than Profigold PGV-78X. Such a cable pulls $ 35-50. For large plasma TVs, it is worth seeking serious cables from Supra, QED (in the picture in the RGB description in the middle of the article), top models from Monitor Cable and so on. Such a cable will cost $ 50-100.
What to take a component cable?
To connect the projector to the DVD player, it is better to use a high-quality component cable that will cost $ 100-150 (for 2-3 meter sample). To connect a DVD player to a projection or conventional TV, any diagonal is enough to buy a component cable for $ 30-50 (2-3 meter sample). Although the most optimal solution will still have a self-making of the cable, or making to order such a cable in any major professional equipment store. Such a component cable (2-3 meters long) along with connectors in the amount of $ 30-60 will cost. I already described the benefit of buying professional cables, but I repeat: buying a well-known brand cable you pay not only for the product, but also for advertising in glossy magazines, beautiful packaging and, of course, the loud name of the manufacturer. In the case of component cables, the problem of vain repositment of money is particularly relevant, because often even a completely cheap component cable made of 3 identical pieces of good antenna cable and 6 connections (the total cost of the cable will be no more than $ 10) will not be very worse than the company for $ 50. Unless of course, we are talking about low-cost LCD projectors, plasma entry-level panels, projection or kinescopic TV. On high-quality plasma panels or upscale projectors with a large screen, such a "focus" with the cable will not pass.
How to make a high-quality component cable yourself?
It is necessary to buy in the professional equipment store a high-quality coaxial video cable ($ 2-4 per meter) and 6 connections of the desired type (RCA or BNC). However, the situation is such that almost all modern RCA or BNC connectors for professional equipment are not intended for soldering, but are connected to the cable by crimping with a special tool. Most of the shops of professional equipment provide services for fueling connector - usually it costs about $ 1 for each connector. And since the manufacture of a component cable is a cutting cable to 3 equal pieces and the installation of connector, then, consider that only $ 6 will be occurring for the manufacture of component cable with you, well, or a little more - depends on the company. The crimping connectors themselves are $ 3-5 per piece (these are high-class metal connectors with a wave resistance of 75 ohms). So consider: even if you need a 3-meter component cable, together with work and connectors it will cost about $ 50-60. And such a cable, believe me, on the quality of the picture it will be easy to "argue" with the purchased branded component cable for a couple hundred dollars. I am not kidding. By the way, in serious installations of home theaters on the basis of good projectors, a high-quality professional video cable is usually applied, and not a "sawdowed" Hi-end video cable in a box of mahogany. From the most famous companies producing professional video cables, for example, a Japanese company, in no case I do not want to offend other respected manufacturers of high-quality professional cables in the fact that the description of self-making cables is typing on the example of CANARE products. It just so happened that I did not rarely used Canare in and installations, and at home - to reproach these cables to me nothing. So, for the manufacture of a component connector, you can use CANARE Class Cables or even. By the way, such cables allow without visible losses as a picture to use lengths even in several tens of meters.
Is it possible to make a s-video cable yourself?
Scheme Same: Buying a high-quality professional cable (remind you, you will need two coaxials) and pairs of S-Video connector. You can find the cable to find in the middle of the article. But get ready: soldering s-video connectors is quite uncomfortable. The cable is better to take relatively thin, otherwise it will be very difficult to solder it to the pins of the connector.
To admit, the independent manufacture of S-Video has more minuses than advantages, given the relatively low quality video signal over S-Video, the complexity of the soldering and the low price of many S-VIDEO cables, the qualities of which are quite enough to switch the satellite receiver or S-VHS video recorder.
Is it possible to make SCART?
If you have a lot of patience, then yes. Why patience? You have to solder 21 contacts on each side. Is it just necessary? There is no need. What in the home theater is needed from scart "or? That's right, the transmission of the video signal, and often only RGBS and a composite (the sound goes through the home theater audio system) - and this is already much less hassle. Here you have to buy a pair of good SCART connections ($ 3-10 The piece) and the cable, the CANARE V5-1.5C class (in the photo), which costs a few dollars per meter, but contains 5 full-fledged thin coaxials with a wave resistance of 75 ohms. Such a cable and will provide a high-quality signal, and it is convenient to the solder.
As a result, such a homemade SCART for $ 30 in terms of image quality in S-Video or RGBS mode will be easy to quickly with the purchase of SCART "Ohm for $ 70-100.
What is the maximum component length, RGB (in the case of implementing 3-5 individual coaxial cables) or composite cable?
Since in all cases, individual coaxial cables are used, we can talk about all three types of connection at once. So, if you use high-quality coaxial cables (including professional), then without visible impairments of the image, you can use lengths of 20-30 meters, and if desired and more. On low-quality cables, the image can become noticeably worse at a cable length over 5 meters.
What is the maximum length of the S-VIDEO cable?
Often, in relatively inexpensive S-Video cables are applied not the best coaxials, which do not badly behave on small lengths, but if you want to stretch the cable for more than 3-5 meters, it is better to buy high-quality (that is, quite expensive) S- Video Cable, or make it from a professional video cable (will be cheaper and better) - In this case, the distance in a dozen-other meters will no longer be a problem.

Blue, green and red. Others are obtained by mixing these three main. This principle is called RGB. The camcorder generates the image in this format, and then this signal is played by a TV or a computer monitor. By changing the intensity of the three main colors, you can create any shade of the spectrum, and as a result, natural images occur on the screen.
What is a bandwidth?
The question arises: "In what form to carry out the transmission of the video signal?" To do this, you can use the RGB format directly, but it takes too a wide frequency band. Therefore, most often such a signal is translated into a compact format that can be transmitted through a component cable. This format is built of three signals. The first is called a brightness pulse, in addition, it is capable of carrying black and white information that is contained in the original RGB. The second and third signals are called color factory. They determine the proportion of red and in general brightness. Mathematically, color-based impulses are RGB signal derivatives. Component cable in total brightness. The share of green does not transmit. It is calculated by the values \u200b\u200bof the remaining signals, because the brightness values \u200b\u200bof the blue and red colors are known. Consequently, the remaining part falls on green. Component cable when transmitting a video signal compresses the size of the frequency band by one third of the original.
Where is the component video format applied?
This encoding is used when transmitting an image known as the DVD standard. Almost all DVD players have a video output to which a three-wire component cable is connected, which provides clean and rich colors, as well as a clear image. Most often, such players have several different video outputs. However, the use of such interfaces will result in high quality component video will be shrinking and transmitted in the worst standard (for example, in composite) to your monitor. Therefore, if your player and TV are capable of working in component video mode, it is best to use this particular standard. As a rule, such a cord consists of three RCA connectors, which are designated in red, green and blue colors (Y, B - Y, R-Y). If the TV and the monitor have the same type of connectors, then it is important to observe the color marking. Most often, the receiving devices receive a component signal via the VGA port. This interface is equipped with a 15-pin D-SUB-connector.
Such a cord is produced by all manufacturers.
Component Cable PS2 / PS3
This cord is used to connect to the PlayStation2 and PlayStation3 TV. PS3- and PS2 component cable supports the output of the picture, the resolution of which is 576 p when the PlayStation2 device is connected. And when connecting the PlayStation3 system, the resolution is higher - up to 1080 p. Such a component cable is compatible with most televisions that support the input connector of this standard. In addition, the mentioned cord has two connector to directly connect to the audio channel sound amplifier. The component cable is considered one of the best interfaces for connecting the game system to the TV and is inferior only to the HDMI standard.
