Component video - Component video is your best choice for video quality. It carries the color and brightness portions of the video signal as separate signals, and it further segregates the color signal into two signals (blue and red). This allows component video connections to provide superb color clarity and reduced color bleeding. Unfortunately, while component video connections are common on new peripherals such as DVD players, they are not widespread on televisions. To use component video, both your peripheral and television must be compatible with the format, and you must use a special component video cable.
S-video - Short for Super-Video, S-video transmits video images in two separate signals, one for color and one for brightness, but it does not segregate the signals any further. This results in sharper images than composite video, although they are not as high quality as component video. As with component video, to use S-video, both your peripheral and television must be compatible with the format, and you must use a special S-video cable. The term Y/C Video is interchangeable with S-video.
Composite video - Transmits video images to your television via a single signal. As a result, the image quality substantially poorer than S-video and component video. This format uses standard RCA connectors, which connect to your television in exactly the same way a VCR would.
