Can you split component video?

You can try the Y-adapter to split the component signal but you will get poor picture quality. Most noticeably you will see the brightness greatly reduced. The proper way to split the signal is to use a distribution amp like the one here.

Can RCA cables be used for component video?

A cable with RCA connections can be used for SPDIF, audio, composite video and component video without any problems.

Is component video the same as RGB?

A common misconception is that the Component Video output from your Nintendo Wii (or your old DVD player) are RGB. While it’s true that component video separates it’s output to red, green and blue cables, it’s actually a completely different signal that was called YPbPr.

Can you plug component into composite?

Composite and Component Video Input Sharing In this setup, component video cables connect normally. However, with this type of shared configuration, you can’t plug in both a composite and component video signal source (with associated analog stereo audio) to the TV at the same time.

Should I use RGB or YPbPr?

RGB, you will see that there are considerable similarities and differences. Both are color spaces, but if you want clear picture quality, YPbPr is the ideal option. It is because of how the color signal is separated.

Can you use red white yellow cables for component?

The AV input you are referring to (yellow, white and red) is composite video (yellow) and stereo audio (red & white). You can use any RCA cable (they’re all the same thing even if they have different coloured heads) to connect composite or component video.

What color is video on component cable?

Cabling made for component video is color-coded green, red and blue for this reason. It is also usually of higher quality and might have better shielding coverage and lower impedance levels.
