Hi: I have just install a new projector (Dream Vision) and noticed that my Sony DVD player has three RCA conectors called "Component Video out" As the projector accepts this imput, I just wanted to know if all this new connection is worthy. ¿Am I going to have a notisable better result on the image? Thanks for the help.
Generally, the rank from best to worst is:
Component is better than S-video which is better than composite.Also component (or a similar connection, whose name escapes me) is a requirement if you get and HDTV set up.
In practice, you may or may not notice much difference depending on what the your other equipment (monitor/TV, dvd player, cable/sat box etc) is doing with the the different signals. If each is being handled optimally, you should notice the each step up has a discernable but not overwhelming improvement. Although unlikely, it is possible for internal circuitry of a unit to be so poor that component is worse than composit.
A more likely scenario, one I've experienced when I changed AVR, is that that the oldest interface (composite) gets very short shrift (cost consideration ?) and gets worse as you upgrade equipment. The manufacturer probably thinks that a buy of an AVR with component would never use composite so the cicuitry is allowed to become very poor (really awful in my case).

The component video interface uses color difference signals to keep the red, green, and blue separated all the way into the display. S-Video separates the luminance signal from the chroma signal, but the red, green, and blue signals are mixed together in the chroma signal during the transit from the source into the display. Component video will provide a better picture, but the degree of improvement is reputed to not be as large as that of S-Video over composite (the single RCA connection).Todd
No...S-Video is said to be skoosh better than component. Also,
Just the video info. is utilized with S-video...no audio there.
And Todd is spot on. S-video is dramatically better than composite with component a smaller step up again. If you can use component then do so and research the cable to use for maximum benefit. I have seen praise for BetterCables

but have not had personal experience with them.John
Peace at AA
Yes, I guess I'll shut up and do some reading, I got mixed up
there. ;-)
but you cannot get progressive via the S-Video...which kills S-Video still in the water!Sam
May not be that important if the monitor include good quality line doubling. I've tested this with my Toshiba and you really have to look hard to see the improvement from a progressive scan source. It's there, but in actual viewing its absense takes away almost nothing.
