Composite Video Connector AKA RCA Video Connector AKA Standard Video Connector

Robert Silva
Definition: A Composite Video Connection is a connection in which both the Color and B/W portions of the video signal are transferred together. The actual physical connection is referred to as an RCA video connection cable and is usually Yellow at the tips.

This connection is the oldest and most common video connection that is still in use. You will find it on just about every video source component and display device, including VCRs, camcorders, DVD players, Cable/Satellite boxes, and most TVs, video projectors, Blu-ray disc players, network media players, and media streamers. However, one thing to note is that the connection is used transferring low and standard resolution video signals. It is not used for high-definition video signal transfer.
