Video component is one such jargon that is commonly associated with HDTV and DVD players. Component video basically consists of three signals. The first is the luminance signal. The second and the third signals are known as the color difference signals. By transmitting the color signals separately, component video cable help deliver very clear video images.

The application base of component video cables has expanded greatly in recent years. You can find them in DVD players, home theater systems, DVR recorders, and video games. XBOX component video and Gamecube component video cable have greatly improved the quality of video games. When it comes to performance video component cables are far better than composite cables.

HDTV does not always come with enough component video input devices. You are thus prevented from connecting your set-top box, DVD player, computer, video game, etc to your HDTV. However, there is a solution to this problem- component video switch. You can find a component video switcher box at a local video or electronic store.
