While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP
Controller, the examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by
Runco.
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT:
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture
quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR's
and camcorders. Others, such as laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results
when using Composite video. While the PFP Controller has an excellent decoder for
Composite video, it is recommended that Composite video be used only if necessary.
• S-VIDEO INPUT
S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than
Composite video. Using such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD play-
ers (with no Component output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder
artifacts that are associated with Composite video (dot crawl and 'rainbows') are non-existent
when using S-Video.
• COMPONENT INPUT
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that
use Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be
used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality;
chroma (color) information is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-
defined.
• RGB/COMPONENT INPUT
This port is where all high-resolution signals (such as computers, DTV decoders and progres-
sive DVD players) must be input. The signal type can be either RGBHV or Component and is
not processed by the PFP Controller.
