  • what's the difference between the Composite AV Cable and the Component AV Cable?

    Best Answer

    I’m not a professional, but have plenty of experience with this, so I’ll do my best to explain in laymen’s terms.

    In the case of Apple's AV cables to be used with your iPod or iPhone, it's the difference in how you connect your video feed.

    Component AV consists of 3 RCA-type plugs to carry the video feed to your TV/Monitor. With this connection you are able to send the lowest form of an HD video signal (720i and maybe 720p, but I’m not positive about the ‘p’). So with this product you’ll see 5 RCA-type plugs; 3 for the video and 2 for the audio.

    Composite AV consists of a single RCA-type plug to carry the video feed to your TV/Monitor. This is the simplest form of video feed and will have 3 RCA-type plugs; 1 for the video and 2 for the audio.

    Newer TV's and Monitors often have both options available or only component, whereas the older TV's and Monitors only have the composite option available. Be sure you check out what connections are available on your specific TV.     …More

    Best Answer

    A number of recent firmware updates have included blocks on non-OEM (Apple) cables.

    This is an Apple cable and therefore should be fully compatible and not be blocked by the firmware updates. …More

    • Asked by VD from Zaragoza

    No, only videos and photos. You could if you jail broke your iPod or iPhone, but doing that will void the warranty on your device. …More
