looks like a Component - VGA conversion cable.
i see a RGB, possibly a Y cable and a Signal coming from that
Uses: HDTV ?? yRGB based Display?

flip got it in 1. 
Thats VGA -> BNC. Some Viewsonic monitors have both VGA and BNC connections.

No Tetrad, RCA is composite, and carries video on one wire and two audio channels on the other two.Tetrad wrote:Component video is 3xRCA, not whatever that is.AceCombat wrote:looks like a Component - VGA conversion cable.

Yup ... I have an Intergraph 21sd95 (21" monitor). It is a very expensive one ... that cable is IDENTICAL to the one on mine.MD-2389 wrote:flip got it in 1.

This monitor is both old and expensive ... I paid $1800 for it in 1997 and it is still as good as day one ...

Component is also 3xRCA, one each for Red, Green, And Blue, and is only a valid terminonology with respect to TV.DCrazy wrote:No Tetrad, RCA is composite, and carries video on one wire and two audio channels on the other two.Tetrad wrote:Component video is 3xRCA, not whatever that is.AceCombat wrote:looks like a Component - VGA conversion cable.
RCA is the name of the connector, not what it carries.
the wire in question here is a VGA cable, with seperate connectors for R, G, B, horizontal sync, and vertical sync

You can use the exact same cable to hook up a component video connection.DCrazy wrote:No Tetrad, RCA is composite, and carries video on one wire and two audio channels on the other two.

wow iv been trying to find one of thoes.
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2004 9:52 am
being those types of signals on it, can that be used for a HDTV display?
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2004 11:39 am
No, because this type transfers RGB and XY synch signals over separate channels (hence 5 connectors).
HDTV, iirc, has RGB with sync signals embedded in the G channel, so it's definitely incompatible.

Not to mention that every HDTV tuner box I've seen uses component video output. Then again, I haven't seen many so there probably are some that use s-video as well.
