S-VIDEO OUT
≥Using the S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
≥
Using the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
terminals
The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture than
the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used for either
interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals
outputs the color difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y)
separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on
the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect
to terminals of the same color.
≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black Level
Control” in the “Video” tab (➜ page 24).
