Component - Component video provides a sharper image
than composite video and S-video because the three video
signals are transmitted via three separate channels.
Good
(analog)
S-Video (AV1) - Combining the three video signals into two
channels, S-Video provides a sharper image than
Composite video, but is not as good as Component video.
Composite (AV1 & 2) - All three video signals are combined
into one channel, thus making the image less sharp than
Component or S-Video.
