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.
i
DTV
Coaxial
RF.
When
used
for MPEG2
encoded
bit streams
from ATSC
broadcast
programming,
this
input takes advantage
of the High Definition
content.
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.
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
(AV3)
- 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.
AVl/AV2/AV3
(Composite)
- The
complete
video
signal
is carried
through
this single
pin
connector.
This is the most commonly
used video connection.
TV Coaxial
RF. This
is the connection
for standard
NTSC
TV
using
antenna
or cable.
If you
have
a
VCR,
you
can
connect
your
antenna/cable
to the
VCR
RF Input
and connect
the VCR
RF Output
to
this connector.
