Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals
and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color
accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate
portions.
Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color
shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.
S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color
(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution
than composite video, which carries the signals together.
SCART connectors used with many European video equipments is designed to carry
composite video and RGB video signals. If the equipment which outputs picture
outputs RGB-signal, it will output RGB signal from the RGB pins and a complete
composite video signal at the same time.
Basically is the same as Full Scart in function but does not support RGB Video signals.
480i Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first
transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines.
480p Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which
transmits each line from top to bottom.
