Will an audio cable work for video?
Video vs Audio Cables In most cases there is really no difference between the cables as the only difference is the signal that they actually carry. A good example of this is the RCA cable. The RCA cable is typically composed of 3 cables that would carry 1 for video and 2 for audio (left and right channels).
Can I use audio RCA cables for video?
A typical RCA connector on a cable can be used to transmit audio or video. Usually the yellow end denotes composite video (all the signals combined for the video), and the red and black ends are for audio, but it doesn’t matter – that is just to help you hook them up properly; a color code for you.
Do composite cables carry audio?
Composite and S-Video do not carry any audio. Composite consists of RED/GRN/BLU cables and only carries video signals.
What is a composite input on a TV?
Composite Audio/Video (A/V), sometimes known as a RCA connection, combines black & white and color information into a single video signal and separates the audio into left and right channels. Refer to Connecting a device to the Android TV/Google TV Video In jack using a RCA composite cable for more information.
What is the difference between RGB and RCA cables?
RGB (red, green, blue) can be carried by RCA cables, RCA refers to the outer cover/inner plug arrangement you most commonly see with audio cables of the red and white variety. RGB are analog signals, separated by color. If you wish to combine these, get a converter.
Can I use RGB cable for audio?
Yes, it will work, I have done this many times to re-purpose cables installed in home theater and commercial AV. The RGB cables for component video (RGB) and composite video (yellow) are just 75 ohm impedance coaxial cables with RCA ends, same type typically used in red and white for stereo audio.
Do RGB cables carry sound?
When you use your LCD tv as a monitor, Whether you have DVI HDMI or like myself, RGB, you will notice that simply hooking the computer up to the port does not transfer sound. This of course is because these component cables on their own do not transfer audio. They are video cables.
