HD AV Component = Standard AV Component? I NEED SOME HELP!

[sleepyeyed_Jynx]

Does anyone know the what each color output form an HD component cable (red, green, blue), is equivalent to when converted to a standard AV cable (red, yellow, white)?

um that is impossible to tell you as standard AV cable the white and red are audio and only yellow are picture. While the component cables are all for picture.

It's not. Composite (YRW) carries Video (Yellow) and Stereo Audio (Red and White). Component carries video only, and separates it into three colors, oddly enough they are Red, Green and Blue. I guess the closest would be the yellow, as it carries the video signal... what are you trying to do?

thanks for the help. i am so fucking shit out of luck. i am trying to hook my 360 up to my lcd monitor though it's dvi input. i tried a dvi-i to vga converter, and that didnt work. i bought a phono coupler today which is why i asked this question. im on the brink of giving up

there are three types of DVI connectors: DVI-I, DVI-A, and DVI-D. I'm assuming the one of your LCD is DVI-D, which is digital only. Therefore, it cannot accept a VGA signal, even with a convertor. Only DVI-I (digital and analog) and DVI-A (analog) support VGA.

Component cables, while colored red, green, and blue, do not carry those colors like VGA does. Our eyes are most sensitive to brightness levels, so they actually carry Y (brightness/black and white), Y-red, and Y-blue. Composite cables (the yellow wire) combine three signals (YUV, a different colorspace) on one cable.
