Analog video

Analog video

Analog video is a video signal transferred by analog signal. It contains the luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) of the image, which may be carried in separate channels, as in component video (YPbPr) and S-Video, or combined in one channel, as in composite video and RF connector.

Analog video is used in both consumer and professional applications. However, digital signal formats with higher quality have been adopted, including serial digital interface (SDI), Firewire (IEEE1394), DVI and HDMI.
