4.1 Connecting the Primary TV
Hydra HD offers several options for connecting audio and video to popular TV and audio equipment.
You can connect Hydra HD to the primary TV using composite, component, S-Video or HDMI connection.
You may also connect the Hydra HD to the primary TV using coaxial cable connection.
If your TV supports 480p, 720p or 1080i pictures, use the HDMI or the component output jacks to connect
to your primary TV. HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and
uncompressed digital video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables do not need to be
connected separately. The HDMI output jack is designed to HDMI version 1.1 specifications.
HDMI and component video output support high definition video signal. They will provide the best quality
video signal for HD ready TV sets.
S-Video output will provide the best quality video signal for late-model TV sets. The RCA A/V composite, S-
Video and TV OUT RF output jacks only support 480i pictures.
The following table shows the video and audio output jacks and their supported video formats:
