Apologies, for bringing this up, I'm sure this has been discussed at length before but I have never yet seen a clear and concise explanation:
As I understand it video connections can be rated as follows; worse to best:
SCART - with only composite video.
Composite - Video only coax.
SCART - with S-Video. enabled.
S-Video.
SCART - with RGsB.
YPbPr - Component.
RGsB - over BNC.
SCART - with RGBs.
RGBs - over BNC.
VGA - Analogue RGBHV.
YPrPr - with progressive scan ie 480p, 720p, 1080p.
HDMI
DVI
I am certain of the first few but I am a bit unsure towards the end of the list. So please correct me if you KNOW the right answer. By the way I rate SCART connections lower than their equivalents because of the crappy nature of the SCART connector itself!
The part I am really interested in is the comparison between RGBs over SCART and 480p component. Am I correct in thinking that because of the additional sync signal RGBs provides slightly more bandwidth and would therefore be better than a 480i component connection but that a 480p connection would beat the RGBs one? If this is right how about the comparison between 720p and 1080i and how is this affected by the native resolution of the display used?
Hopefully someone knowledgeable can set me straight and their post can be made sticky.
