Component video?

Question

Does component video cables transmit audio through the red, blue, and green wires? I am trying to connect my dell laptop that has a 7 pin video output to my TV. I just wanna know if you get sound like the red, yellow, and white cable.

Answer 1

First off moron Red Blue Green does just video you have to use your red and white for an out  put for audio

Answer 2

If I understand you correctly you have a TV that has component, a dell laptop and the proprietary cable to make the connection,right?

If it is, you will need in addition, to the video portion provided by the 7 pin to component cable, a  stereo mini to RCA cable (see first link) or equivalent to get audio. Or a 5.1 sound card  outputting to a 5.1 receiver/surround system for surround sound.

Answer 3

Component video inputs/outputs only transmits video.

Component video cables use three sets of RCA connectors much like the analog red-white-yellow connections but the two are completely incompatible.

HDMI is a single cable technology that transmits audio and video.

Video connection:

Laptop > component video > tv

Possible audio connections:

Laptop > set of desktop speakers or headphones

Laptop > male-male 1/4" stereo cable > stereo

Laptop > male 1/4" stereo to RCA red-white connector > tv or stereo

Answer 4

now i think those that have answered before me may have missed a important bit of info.. a seven pin video out.. now that isnt component video.. i have an older dell laptop and went to there website and found the newest ones have multiple varieties of outputs for video.depending on which connector it really is(s-video, 5-pin component, hdmi, etc..) and what type of t.v. you have 15yr old tube t.v....brand new plasma.. will determine exactly which cable you need..it is also possible you may need a small converter box to modify the signal..none of which should be very expensive.. here's a good website to check on the different bits and pieces.. but you may be able to find it cheaper locally

Answer 5

The short answer is no, but there seems to be a lot of confusion about Component Video.

Y - Green: Carries no "green" information, which is confusing! It carries brightness information (luminance), horizontal sinc information, vertical sinc information and other data required to complete the ATSC, NTSC, Pal, etc. video signal

pR - Red: Carries red color (chromanance) information only

pB - Blue: Carries blue color (chromanance) information only

Green is calculated by the TV, and is not sent as part of the signal.

Composite video, (yellow red and white) are:

Yellow: Entire video signal

Red: Right channel audio

White: Left channel audio

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Composite in the red yellow and white.

Your laptop doesn't have HDMI? That makes it a lot easier because its audio and video in the same cable.

Or are you asking if you can use composite wires with component hookups? I think that answer is true.

Answer 7

RGB is for your Red Blue and Green colors for the picture tube. The Red, White and Yellow are Audio, Audio and Video respectively. they are not compatible

The rgb is simular to the yello, but the three colors are seperated. no audio

Answer 8

You will need three cables for your video:

1 red

1 green

1 blue

You will also need two cables for your audio:

1 red

1 white

Be sure not to confuse the red cables for audio and video. They will be sending different signals, they need to match up.

Best of luck!
