Good Quality Signal
The cables are interchangeable
•S-Video delivers a superior picture to composite video •The ROUND cable connects VIDEO only
•S-Video is a step up from standard composite video The connector has a notched, metal sleeve that must align properly with the female jack before it can be inserted.
You still need:The red RCA jack connects the right audioThe white RCA jack connects the left audio

S-Video
Better Quality Signal
• Component video is one of the high-end video interfaces offered on audiovisual equipment today- you’ll need it to get HD quality on a Plasma or LCD TV.• Three video cables better preserve video source signal. Component video carries visual data only, no audio Audio cables (red/white) are still required, you can buy a five wire cable that contains R,B,G and Red and White(check Monoprice.com)

Component or Red, Blue, Green
Best Quality Signal
• Component/RGB can supplies the same quality signal as DVI Or HDMI
• Component/RGB is MUCH more affordable
• Buy RGB cables online, especially in runs longer than 10 feet

A Short Note about DVI or HDMI
A Quality Tie
•One connector
• HD quality • VGA video carries visual data only. Audio cables (red/white) are still required to get sound from the desktop or laptop to the computer speakers - typically, that means 3.5 MM connectors (like headphone connectors)
Cable CampSVGA or The “monitor” cable
Best Quality Signal
*use a VGA splitter on desktop computers to get two signals
Cable CampJon’s Cable Rule:
EVERYTHING Splits or Adapts - • audio cables• video cables• s-video cables• VGA cables
Knowing this opens up a lot of possibilities!
VGA splitter- About $5, allows two monitors on a desktop PC
