  • Difference in Component and Composite cables.

    Hello CC,

    I have purchased the Intensity Shuttle for the purposes of outputting PAL video on a monitor. What analog signal for my HDTV will be best, component or composite cables? Is there any difference? I am not able to us HDMI as SD via HDMI does not seem to give out a good signal as it “stutters” on my HDTV. So I have these two choices of cables.
    My DVD player seems to be using composite cables (RCA) and video signal looks good.

    Thank you.

    Component signal is far superior to composite in all cases.
