Video Connection Options
The DCX set-top offers several different video connection options. Component Video and
allow you to view both High-Definition and Standard-Definition TV programming.
Composite video connections allow you to view only Standard-Definition TV
programming.
To determine whether your TV features component video, HDMI, or composite video,
check the manual supplied with your TV.
Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your home
entertainment system.
Note: Only one video connection to the TV is required. HD video can only be viewed with
HDMI or component video connections.
HDMI — HDTV and SDTV
•
HDMI offers higher quality HD video than component video.
•
If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect a standard
HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your DCX set-top.
•
HDMI output provides video and audio, so no separate audio connections are
required if you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary audio source.
•
If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out
connector on the DCX set-top and the DVI-HDTV connector on your TV.
Note: DVI does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made.
Note: Motorola recommends certified standard (category 1) HDMI cables for 1080i or
720p resolutions. A certified high speed (category 2) HDMI cable is recommended for
resolutions of 1080p.
Component Video (YPbPr) — HDTV and SDTV
•
The YPbPr connectors on your DCX set-top provide HDTV and SDTV component
video.
Note: Component Video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be
made.
Composite Video (also referred to as Video) — SDTV
•
The Video out connector on your DCX set-top provides a composite video
connection.
Note: Composite video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be
made.
