<h5>A Guide to Cables and Connectors Used for Audiovisual Tech</h5>
<p>A comprehensive source for identifying cables and connectors potentially used for audiovisual/media preservation. Cable types and connectors are organized by the primary purpose of the signal being transferred - video, audio-only, data (i.e. computer cables) and power. Examples of physical connectors (along with pinouts and contextual uses for each kind of cable/connector combination) are provided in buttons, nested within descriptions of signal types, wiring, interfaces and protocols!</p>

<h3 id="analog_video">Analog Video</h3>
<p>Analog audiovisual media record image and sound information as a continuous signal stored in or on the media itself (in the case of most "video" formats, as a continually fluctuating level of magnetic field strength on tape). Different types of video processing can allow that signal to be carried along different channels, with each channel representing a different portion of the video information (e.g. luminance/brightness, chrominance/color, sync). The types of cable you will need to work with an analog video signal will depend primarily on how these channels have been divided, as well as considerations of signal-to-noise ratio - all analog signals are subject to some degree of electronic noise or distortion, and different connection standards and interfaces have been developed to combat such signal degradation.</p>
<!-- start Composite protocol cables -->
<div class="well">
<h4 id="composite">Composite</h4>
<p>In composite cables, all video information (including both luminance and chrominance) is encoded on to a single channel/wire. As all information is traveling along one channel, composite video is the most susceptible to noise in the signal.</p>

<h4 id="component_ypbpr">Component Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub></h4>
<p>Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub> signal is often referred to, imprecisely, simply as "component" video, although there are actually several standards of component video (any signal standard that splits video information into multiple channels is component, including S-Video and the multiple RGB standards). In Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub>, the video signal is split into three channels: Y (containing luminance and sync), P<sub>B</sub> (the difference between blue and luma), and P<sub>R</sub> (the difference between red and luma). The remaining (green) chrominance information is derived from the relationship between these three signals. Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub> cables are sometimes referred to as "yipper" cables and are connectors are usually color-coded (Y = green, P<sub>B</sub> = blue, P<sub>R</sub> = red); however Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub> cables are fundamentally wired the same as composite cables and can be used interchangeably as long as the corresponding ports are properly connected.</p>

<h4 id="yc-688">Y/C-688 ("Dub")</h4>
<p>An earlier protocol that, like S-Video (which came later but was more common), split video into two components, luminance (Y) and chrominance (C). Intended to improve the quality of direct tape duplication from one video deck to another, this connection was often vaguely labeled/referred to simply as "dub". First seen on 3/4" U-matic decks, but continued to be used on professional Betacam and VHS/S-VHS decks. Though the same cables and pinouts were usually used, different Y/C-688-capable decks and devices modulated the chrominance signal at different frequencies - making Y/C-688 signal incompatible with S-Video devices (or sometimes even from one Y/C-688-capable deck to another)! Also incompatible with an implementation of Y′P<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub> video that used the same connector and was *also* simply labeled "dub" (see above).</p>

<p>A component video standard in which luminance and chrominance information is encoded into three channels (red, green and blue) and a fourth is used for composite sync (vertical and horizontal sync encoded together on the same wire).

<h3 id="digital_video">Digital Video</h3>
<p>As opposed to analog video, in digital recording the video and/or audio signal is converted into a stream of numbers (bits), that collectively represent the luminance, chrominance, and other values that make up the image. The stream must be converted back into analog waveforms to be viewed on a monitor/video screen. Provided electrical noise is not too great, it will theoretically not affect the quantification of the signal. Different standards for digital video and audio have developed in order to make it possible to pass more information along one connection in the same (or shorter) amount of time (also to make it possible to send audio information along the same cable/connection as video).</p>
<!-- start SDI protocol cables -->
<div class="well">
<h4 id="sdi">SDI</h4>
<p>Serial Digital Interface (SDI) actually refers to a family of SMPTE interface standards designed for the transmission of uncompressed, unencrypted digital video signals. The original standard ("SD-SDI"), defined for 480i and 576i standard definition video, has been periodically updated (e.g. HD-SDI, 6G-SDI) to allow for steadily increasing bit rates, frame rates, video resolutions, etc. Because SDI is an unencrypted digital signal, it has generally been restricted from use in consumer equipment, and is usually found in professional, broadcast-grade production and preservation environments.</p>
<p><b>Introduced: </b>1989</p>
<p><b>Max resolution:</b> As of 2015, the 12G-SDI standard allows up to 2160p60 video at 12 Gb/s</p>

<p>IEEE 1394, referred to as "FireWire," was developed by Apple as an interface for high-speed data transfer. However the FireWire interface was also employed by digital cameras recording to tape media with the DV (Digital Video) protocol (e.g. MiniDV, DVCAM, DVCPRO). Some camcorders were also able to directly output a DV signal to a digital video recorder or computer via a FireWire cable/interface. When used with digital video, the FireWire interface operates at a slower data rate than in most of its data transfer applications.</p>

<h3 id="analog_audio">Analog Audio</h3>
<p>Unlike analog video, analog audio signals are essentially only ever transferred over one channel (i.e. one-track monaural/"mono") or two (two-track mono, or stereo). Analog audio cables, generally speaking, thus only had to carry one channel of audio and two cables would simply be employed for recording or reproducing two-track mono or stereo (in contrast to the proliferation of standards and cables for video - composite, S-Video, RBG, etc). The most critical characteristic in regard to analog audio cabling, then (beyond connector types), regards balanced vs. unbalanced wiring, a method employed to reduce noise interference in audio cables.</p>
<!-- start Balanced Analog audio cables -->
<div class="well">
<h4 id="balanced_analog">Balanced Analog Audio</h4>
<p>Balanced coaxial audio cables contain three wires: "earth" (electrical ground), "hot" (positive audio signal), and "cold" (negative audio signal). The audio signal is transferred on both the hot and cold lines, but the voltage in the cold line is inverted (i.e. signal is negative when the hot line's is positive, and vice versa). When the cable is plugged into an input, the hot and cold signals are mixed together, but the cold signal is also inverted again. This has the effect of strengthening the original, recorded audio signal (doubling the number of wires it was carried on) while also canceling out the signal of any unintentional noise in the signal picked up as the audio traveled over the cable. (Since that noise was essentially "recorded" positively on to both the hot and cold lines, flipping the polarity of the cold line at input gives you exact opposite noise signals, which cancel each other out.)</p>
<p>Reducing analog audio noise is an issue primarily with longer cables, or in professional/broadcast or preservation environments, where the absolute integrity of the audio signal is more highly valued than on consumer equipment.</p>

<p>Also known as a "phone connector" for its use for many years to patch telephone connections. TRS stands for "Tip-Ring-Sleeve", referring to the three contacts on the jack (for the three wires, earth, hot and cold, present in balanced wiring). Often found with speakers, amps, some video equipment that produces monaural audio.</p>
