Are the component video interconnects 75 ohm? Or a different value?
Is there any DIY recipes out there?
Follow Ups:
Tweak, I use Steve Rochlin's formula (the Max Rochlin Memorial Cable), from his Enjoy the Music website. It's really easy to make and it works great as a component video cable. The only problem is the Canare cable crimp die is really expensive (I paid like $80-$90 for mine), but it's still cheaper than commercial cables if you need to do a couple of tv's, or you need some other digital cables.
It's actually impedance, and the answer is yes, 75ohms.
So to make a cable, I just need to get a 75 ohm resistor (or the equivilant to make the entire cable 75 ohms) and solder it in series to the center pin of one of the connectors?
If this is a serious question the answer is NO. Buy a coax with 75 ohm impedence. I gotta go back 20+ years to my old electro magnetic fields courses, but if I remember correctly, impedence is a a result of cable geometry and shielding. All newer video circuits that I know of are designed to accept signals from a 75 ohm cable. I would recommend buying the new Super quad-shielded RG-6 Coax designed for HDTV signals. The only down side to this cable is that it is bulky and somewhat stiff. You can never go wrong with Belden for quality-built video cable.
