HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the 
first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-
digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface 
between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, 
DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video 
monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single 
cable.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, 
green and blue color components. The signal carries 
horizontal and vertical sync information on the green 
signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.

Component1/2 - The video signal is separated into three 
signals, one containing the black-and-white information 
and the other two containing the color information. This 
enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the 
superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD 
players and HDTV formats.

S-Video (AV1) - The video signal is separated into two 
signals, one containing the black-and-white information 
and the other containing the color information. 
Separating the color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ 
effects where closely spaced black and white lines are 
erroneously displayed in color. It also enables text to be 
displayed more sharply. 
Composite (AV1/2) - The complete video signal is 
carried through this single pin connector. This is the 
most commonly used video connection.
