Video Cable Definitions

Video Cables defined In simple terms Video cables are cables which used for transmitting videos signal from one source to other. Sometime these are called Coaxial cables because most of the videos cables available today are Coaxial cables. Reasons for using different Video Cables Different videos cables are used for different purpose depending upon their applications. Some of the advantages of using these cables are: 1. Improving contrast ratio 2. Running cables longer 3. Getting less videos distortion 4. Creating improved colors Types of Video Cables  Types of videos cables are based on its application. Some of most popular types or videos cables are: 1. DVI Video Cables 2. Composite Video Cables 3. RGBHV Video Cables 4. Component Video Cables 5. S-Video Cables 6. Portable Projectors Video Cables 7. VGA Video Cables DVI Video Cables  DVI or digital videos interface cables are slightly larger then standard VGA cables. Ideally DVI cables creates digital link between the source of videos and display device. Composite Video Cables The most commonly used videos cables are composite videos cables. These cables frequently used in Video Cassette Recorder and stereo devices. These cables are color-coded namely red, white and yellow where red is for right channel audio; white is for left channel audio and yellow for videos signal. Only one cable is used for transmitting complete videos signal. These are most commonly used cables type inspite of their low quality videos/audio signals. The most common uses of these cables are television, Camcorder, VD player, and VCR's. RGBHV Video Cables  RGBHV Video Cables are similar to composite videos cable but difference is in the fact that videos signal in RGBHV cables are divided into five. These RGBHV cables divide the color of videos signal into red, green and blue. Now days most of the high end monitors, HDTV used RGBHV connection to create the high definition videos quality. Component Video Cables In Component videos cables complete videos signals are divided into three. This way it provides a better image quality then compare to composite cable or S-videos cable. Jacks tips of component cables are Green, Red and Blue. Most of today's DVD players, HD television sets tuners uses component cable connections. S-Video Cables These S- videos cables are also know as SVHS cables and have variety of uses including latest television sets, satellite set top box, camcorder and SVHS VCR's etc. S-videos cables divide videos signals into two components like luminance and chrominance. This is the main difference between S-videos cables and composite videos cables. Portable Projectors Video Cables As their name suggests portable projector videos cable needs small room for connection. Due to this space scarcity most of the portable projector cables comes with 15 pin VGA. The projector is designed to sense the videos signal it is receiving and process them accordingly. These portable projector videos cables uses three out of 15 pins out connection designed for component videos signal. VGA Video Cables These VGA cables are normal monitor cables and have three rows of fifteen pins. VGA cables are primarily used for PC to projector or PC to computer monitor connections
