S-Video is a type of composite video signal. The 4 pins are Chrominance, Luminance, and 2 grounds. Your standard composite video cable combines Chrominance and Luminance into one signal, which is then separated again by the TV. An S-video cable removes this step.
The "y, pB, pR" cable set is known as "component" video. this cable goes one step further than S-Video, breaking down the Chrominance signal to individual colors, using Red (pR), Blue (pB) and Luminance (y). The TV then uses additive and subtractive methods to determine Green.

Coaxial adapter for ypbpr cable?
Coaxial adapters for YPBPR cable can be found at most Radio Shack stores. This type of cable in VGA and Audio to HDMI conversions.?æ
Can a s video cable replace a ypbpr cable?
S-video is a two wire interface while ypbbr is a three wire interface. Therefore, an S-video cable cannot be used for any component signals. S-video supports only standard definition, that is, PAL or NTSC color encoding. Component signals (ypbbr) support both standard definition and high definition.
How can you connect a gamecube to a TV with component YPbPr and video and audio RL inputs - and will it lag?
Nintendo released a component (YPbPr) cable when the GameCube launched, but quickly stopped supporting it. Newer consoles don't have the "Digital A/V Out" port at all. If you have one of the original models with that port, you can try to track down the component video cable, although they tend to be rather expensive since there weren't many made. There are no cheaper, third-party alternatives for this cable. To when connecting the system to your TV, you will also need the original composite (yellow/red/white) cable for the RL audio, since the component cable does not have its own audio plugs. There will be no lag if the system is connected to the TV with these cables.
Is s video beter than ypbpr?
I dont believe it is. YBbPr is capable of outputting High definition (1080) where as S-video is Standard Definition
Can you use a standered AV cable with yellow red and white to carry a component video signal through YPbPr?
Yes you can, but the cable isn't really right for video signals. Even the composite video signal that is normally carried by one of the three cables suffers over a long length. The best thing to do is to plug it in and try it. If vertical edges on the image appear slightly smeared, it may well be down to the cable and a new cable is called for. Have no worries - you won't damage anything by using the cable. The right cable to use, if you have a choice is 75 ohm coax. RG59 and URM70 cables will do the job although there are many others with higher spec (and price) that you can choose from. If you have to buy a pre-terminated cable, then choose the fattest cable you can find. It's not a scientific way of choosing the cable, but the diameter is normally an indicator of the quality of cable.
Is it possible to convert YPbPr output to Coaxial output?
Not generally no. There would be no point. The easiest is to convert the standard yellow video out to coax with an RF modulator
What type of component video is characterized by having three RCA plugs at each end?
RGB, YPbPr is characterized by having three RCA plugs at each end.
What is the difference between Pr Pb Y and Cr Cb Y audio video ports. will my devices work if a connect the two ports together?
They are both color space video but PrPbY is analog video and CrCbY is digital video.TriviaConventionally the Y is first followed by b then r, as in YPbPr which has led to the wires being known as 'yipper' lines/cables.
Can you split from standard video yellow to ypbpr?
A single cable carrying video will be carrying a composite video signal. This signal has brightness and two color signals encoded into a single signal. To generate a component signal (YPbPr)a video decoder is required. They are available from many sources from low cost domestic units to stunningly expensive broadcast models. The better the decoder, the better the resulting image. It is very important to understand that a composite signal has suffered losses because of the encoding. Decoding the signal to component does not restore that quality. Component interfaces can handle high definition as well as standard definition signals. Decoding a composite signal will result in a standard definition signal. Connecting it to a high definition input will not result in a high definition signal. Normally, the only reason to decode the signal to component is to interface to a device that only accepts component signals.
On xbox 360 i have YPbPr plugged in but no sound i know the red and white are for sound but i have no slot for them but i do have a scart slot if i try scart the picture is not good?
There should be a little square hole at the end that plugs into the Xbox 360. This is for an optical audio cable that hooks to a surround amp.
Does ypbpr carry audio and video?
Y Pb Pr is a form of component video with three signals. Y is the brightness signal while Pb and Pr each carry color information. All three are required to produce a full color image and they do not carry audio. Audio will usually require a further two connectors for stereo audio.
Can you use two component cables as a audio cable?
The answer is YES & NO !1. Simply because there are 2 popular modes of the Component systemsProgressive vs. interlaced component video2. One will work and the other will create a distortion/interference since the signal is strong and that is why a 75 ohms coaxial is used.3. we had several incidents when we connected a DVD player to a TV, one time it was perfect, another we get a distorted, another we got a fuzzy black and white result, but the most severe case was when we burned out a satellite receiver (it happened at the same time we were connecting)Personally, I believe try it as a stand alone without any other device being connected to the TV.4. This should not be an issue with top brand peripherals
