42. Cable Camp!

43. Cable Camp
Composite or Red, White, Yellow
• The most common type of video interface
• Connect a VHS tape player, DVD player or game console to a television or a
projector
The red RCA jack connects the right audio
The white RCA jack connects the left audio
The yellow cable connects the VIDEO
The cables are interchangeable
Good Quality Signal

44. Cable Camp
S-Video
•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 audio
The white RCA jack connects the left audio
Better Quality Signal

45. Cable Camp
SVGA or The “monitor” cable
•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)
*use a VGA splitter on desktop computers to get two signals
Best Quality Signal

46. Cable Camp
Jon’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
