Myth of Echelon Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hey guise. I'm on the edge of buying a Capture Card, but don't know if there actually is a quality difference between a HDMI cable or a Component/YPbPr (or whatever) cable. I've done a bit of research and come up with mixed results. Anyone provide clarity on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamiteDai Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 On my pc I'm running in 1080 from a dvi cable. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 HDMI is better quality and is just one cable as opposed to three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth of Echelon Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Component is 6 cables though, not 3..? I can tell the different between AV and HDMI :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotteh Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Component are 3 I'm pretty sure, I saw one today infact, unless there's more than one type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth of Echelon Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes, that's the other 3 of the standard 3, I believe. You can see the other 3 above them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myth of Echelon Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Oh, okay. So would I see any noticeable quality between them? And does component do HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunno Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 A componant cable can carry an HD signal however i believe it is an analog signal, so i dont really know whether they will be any major difference in picture quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth of Echelon Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 And is that 720 or 1080 HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
