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
audiolvideo 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.
DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPEG2
encoded bit streams from ATSC broadcast
programming, this input takes advantage of the
High Definition content.
TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for
standard NTSC TV using antenna or 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.
Component 1/2 - 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 (AVl) - 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.
AV2 (Composite) - The complete video signal is
carried through this single pin connector. This is
the most commonly used video connection.
