Component...s-video ..progressive or not ? TOO MANY CHOICES

hi Keith
( u got smae name as a friend of mine in prelude club :)

ok that clears up the progressive and interlaced thing
( i knew it but i was completly not sure )

so wich type of connection supports progressive scan ?

what are the max resolution attainable with S-video compared to component ?

what to looks after in a dvd player/tv ?? only progressive scan compatible ?

A lot of questions... I will answer a few.

There are two main ways of projecting a TV image.

1-Interlaced - This basically is where you are seeing 1/2 of the lines at any given time. The picture is presented with each pass every other line. Thus, it looks like the image is flickering a bit. This is the standard mode for normal TVs.

2-Progressive - This way of presenting a picture is scanning the picture from top to bottom line by line. The picture looks much sharper and with less flicker using this method.

If you can afford it, PROGRESSIVE scan is much better with tube TVs (esp. Sony's).

Component video is the best method (for mass market) of transmitting a video signal. It absolutely seperates the three primary colors that are transmitted (red, green, blue). SVHS cable is not bad (much better than RCA video cable).

I hope this helps.

Peace.

Keith
