VGA Connector
The DB15-pin female connector is provided for VGA monitors.
Digital Panel Connector
The DVI (Digital Visual Interface) connector allows you to connect an LCD monitor. It
provides a high-speed digital interconnection between the computer and its display
device. To connect an LCD monitor, simply plug your monitor cable into the DVI
connector, and make sure that the other end of the cable is properly connected to
your monitor (refer to your monitor manual for more information.)
RCA Connector
The RCA connector allows users to connect display devices for composite video
input/output.
Composite video, also called baseband video or RCA video, is the analog waveform
that conveys the image data in a conventional National Television Standards Commit-
tee (NTSC) television signal. Composite video contains chrominance (hue and
saturation) and luminance (brightness) information, along with synchronization and
blanking pulses, all together in a single signal.
S-Video Connector
The S-Video connector allows users to connect display devices for component
video input/output.
S-Video (Super-Video, sometimes referred to as Y/C Video, or component video) is
a video signal transmission in which the luminance signal and the chrominance signal
are transmitted separately to achieve superior picture clarity. The luminance signal
(Y) carries brightness information, which defines the black and white portion, and
the chrominance signal (C) carries color information, which defines hue and saturation.
An S-Video connection brings better video quality than a composite/RCA connection.
