There are several types of HD input to a television. The most common is HDMI, a compact connector that carries digital video, audio and control data in a single cable assembly. The other common input is a set of BNC or RCA jacks marked as RGB. Often the RGB jacks have additional jacks marked as sync or S or perhaps a pair marked as H and V. The RGB input is analog rather than digital. Note that there is a further input called component - this is commonly marked as Y, U, V and also uses three RCA jacks. Component is NOT RGB and the two are not interchangeable. Some inputs can be configured to be either RGB or component. Check the TV manual for this information. VGA is an analog signal with 5 separate lines, referred to as RED, GREEN, BLUE, HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL. This will normally connect to the RGBHV input of the television if there is one. It is important to note that the operating frequency of the signal may not be compatible with the television so it is worth checking with the user manuals before trying it. A cable with a 15 pin high density D connector at one end and 5 RCA jacks at the other will be needed and they can be obtained from most specialist computer or television dealers. Note also that HDMI is compatible with DVI which is the latest display standard for computers. DVI does not carry audio but the video image is identical in format to other HDMI video signals. Once again, it is worth checking the user manual for the television to ensure that the signal frequencies can be displayed.
