What is a component av cable?

Question

And what does it do?

Answer 1

IT'S A CABLE THAT DIVIDES THE VIDEO SIGNAL INTO RED/GREEN/BLUE. USUALLY ONE CABLE SPLIT 3 WAYS AT EITHER END.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A "HDMI" INPUT (ONE DIGITAL CABLE FOR BOTH AUDIO AND VIDEO) IT'S THE BEST WAY TO CONNECT DVD, ETC. TO YOUR TV.

Answer 2

It is a set of three cables that convey the picture between components. It allows a high quality and higher resolution analog signal. Y, Pb, Pr is the designation where Y is the luminance (black & white), the horizontal and vertical sync pulses, and through multiplexing and decoding carries the green chroma (color). The Pb & Pr is basically the blue and red chroma. This input can be 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i, so this is the normal input for Hi-Def receivers.

Answer 3

Component video is carried by three cables; the connectors are usually labeled Y,Pr,Pb or Y,Cr,Cb. They represent "color difference" signals. Y is the "black and white" (luminance) component, and is colored green at the connector. Pr,Pb and Cr,Cb are the red and blue color-difference components and are colored red and blue, respectively. You can get a black-and-white picure if you use only the Y cable, but you won't get any picture if you use either of the others alone. In addition to the video triplet, you need an audio connection, which can be stereo (red and white phono plugs) or digital (optical or coax).

Answer 4

Its like a scart lead, but it has video option and sound for left and right.
