In Reply to: Component Video a simple/better option with this cable? posted by CoreyGH on January 09, 2002 at 23:12:07:
Sure looks like it would work, using this cable. Better yes, however a little more expensive.

Component Video Definition
(Analog Signals) Typically uses three RCA connectors or three BNC connectors at each end of a cable consisting of three separate 75-ohm coaxial cable lines within it. However, three individual 75-ohm coaxial cables with the same connectors can also be used. Component video subtracts the luminance signal (brightness signal) from the sub-components of the chrominance signals (the blue signal and the red signal), and this is often described as Y, B-Y, R-Y or as YPbPr. Notice that blue and red will produce green to achieve a completed RGB (red, green, blue) signal. The term "digital component video" is often used to describe digital video processing before it is displayed on some type of video display device, but this is actually an "analog" display. Generally, component video provides a better quality picture than s-video.
