The Motorola VIP1002E set-top offers the following video outputs:

To determine the available inputs on your TV, check the manual supplied with the TV or on
the TV itself. Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for your
system:
Connector Audio / Video Description
HDMI Audio and Video HDMI offers higher video quality than component
video. If your HDTV has an HDMI input, use the
HDMI connector.
If your HDTV has a DVI input, you can use
an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to connect to
the VIP1002E HDMI connector. Use a cable
with an HDMI connector on one end and a
DVI connector on the other end. We do not
recommend using an HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-
HDMI adapter.
SCART Audio and Video For Standard-Definition TV, use the SCART
connector on the VIP1002E.
