Video Outputs Video Outputs are the standard jacks used to hookup video components to each other.Component Video Output- These connections are the best method for transferring a video signal from a source (like a DVD player) to a TV. The jacks themselves are colored red, green, and blue and carry the brightness (the black-and-white portion of the signal) and the blue and red color signals separately. Of the three most common types of video connections--Composite, S-Video, and Component--Component Video will provide the best picture. Composite (RCA) Outputs- These are the standard jacks which are used to transfer a video signal from a source (like a VCR) to a TV. In part because they mix the color and black and white portions of a video signal, composit video connections can't produce a picture as sharp as S-Video or Component Video connections, but they're much better than the screw-on RF connections by which most VCRs are connected to most TVs.S-Video Outputs- This small, round, multi-pin jack allows a signal with separate black and white and color signals. S-Video jacks are better than standard RCA (composite jacks) in that they eliminate cross-color and dot crawl effects while providing the same high resolution as RCA jacks.S-Video Output allows a source component to send a high resolution signal to another unit. Typically found on DVD, SVHS, DBS, Hi-8mm camcorders, Laser disc players
