Component Limitations Component video cables are analog, just like composite cables. And also like composite cables they have inherit limitations that are tied to the analog format. Analog cables transmit their signals via waveforms, digital cables transmit their signals the same way a computer transmits data — through binary code that is decoded by the display device into a viewable picture.
Because they travel via waveform, analog signals are susceptible to interference from radio waves and other electronic signals from nearby equipment. Analog signals also have less bandwidth than digital signals, which means increased compression that can negatively affect picture quality.
Although less noticeable with component than composite, signals transmitted via component cable will not be as clear as signals transmitted digitally via cables like HDMI and DVI. Multicom stocks the highest quality HDMI 2. While regular television signals, VHS tapes and laserdiscs all encode visual data using lesser quality composite video, DVDs use component video for encoding visual data.
A DVD player with component video outputs, connected to a television with comparable inputs, will provide a picture far superior than one using composite video connections. Component video is also a step up from S-Video in that it is a multi-scan technology, which means it can deliver the video stream in differing modes to accommodate various frame rates for progressive-scan or interlaced televisions.
Component video cables are available in different configurations. All three cables might be encased in a single sheath with triple tails at each end, or the cables might be bonded or ribboned together.
Three single RCA or coaxial cables can also be used, but should be the same length and type. Increased cable quality, tips and shielding add to the cost, as will the length of the cables.
Many people have numerous free cables around the house from purchasing past equipment, and some people opt to use these to connect component video. Bear in mind that standard cables are color-coded red and white, so care must be taken to match the green, red and blue jacks with the same wire on both pieces of equipment. Cancel X. Topic Archived.

Anyone know if you can get the same quality picture with component as with HDMI? Only reason is I am thinking if you can send the p 3D through component you can use the HDMI to pass the lossy soundtrack to a 1.
