‐
Generally
understood
to
be
the
lowest
quality
video
signal
that
you
can
use
and
is
more
appropriate
for
video
delivery
(broadcast)
than
as
a
source
for
content
creation
(video
editing,
DVD
authoring,
or
encoding
for
the
web).
‐
The
connectors
common
to
composite
video
are
RCA
or
Cinch
for
consumer
equipment
and
BNC
(Bayonet
Neill
‐
Concelman.
‐
As
the
quality
of
the
RCA
or
BNC
cable
that
is
used
increases,
the
noise
and
attenuation
decreases.

S
‐
Video:
‐
Major
advance
in
quality
for
consumer
and
professional
video
editors.
‐
S
‐
Video
splits
the
luma
and
chroma
channels
into
two
separate
wire
pairs,
which
eliminates
generally
half
of
the
composite
noise
artifacts.
The
two
chroma
channels
are
still
combined
and
still
interfere
with
each
other,
leaving
some
noise
in
the
signal.
‐
While
no
longer
considered
true
professional
grade,
it
is
a
big
improvement
from
composite
and
can
be
considered
a
good
video
capture
minimum
standard
for
editing
and
compression.
‐
Mostly
use
a
specific
four
‐
pin
connector
on
S
‐
Video
cables.
These
cables
are
intended
for
short
distances
(usually
100
feet
or
less).
Some
types
of
professional
and
broadcast
equipment
use
two
BNC
cables,
one
for
luma
and
one
for
chroma,
to
carry
S
‐
Video
signals.
This
setup
provides
a
connection
that
can
be
run
farther
and
that
can
be
locked
into
place
to
prevent
the
cable
from
falling
out
and
losing
the
signal.

Component
analog:
‐
Also
known
as
YUV
(Y
for
luminance,
U
for
one
chroma
channel,
and
V
for
the
other
chroma
channel)
was
the
professional
and
broadcast
standard
for
many
years
and
it
is
still
widely
used
today.
‐
The
luminance
signal
and
the
two
color
signals
are
all
transmitted
over
their
own
dedicated
cables.
Because
all
three
components
or
channels
of
the
video
signal
are
transmitted
independently,
the
quality
of
the
signal
is
quite
high.
Noise
is
very
low
and
the
colors
in
the
video
are
richer
and
more
precise.
‐
In
broadcast
and
professional
environments,
component
analog
has
mostly
yielded
to
digital
video
formats.
‐
Component
analog
has
become
very
popular
in
the
consumer
market,
though,
as
the
preferred
format
for
connecting
home
DVD
players
to
new
television
sets
‐
In
professional
environments,
the
component
analog
signals
are
carried
by
three
individual
BNC
cables
because
of
their
ability
to
accommodate
long
runs
and
locking
connections.
