Whats the difference between the DTV component video standards?
There are two different ways to connect a component video signal. The first, identified as YPbPr, is a three-wire connection. It consists of one luminance signal marked Y and two color difference signals marked Pb and Pr. This is a pretty common connection on all Japanese-made DTV-compatible TV sets. The second standard is identified as RGB. This can be a three-wire, four-wire, or five-wire connection, and is similar to that used by your computer monitor. In the four-wire RGBS and five-wire RGBHV formats, there are three color signals Red, Green, and Blue and either one or two sync signals.
