 ==VGA Connector==
-The VGA connector is the standard analog video connector for PCs.  It is a 15-pin mini-sub-D connector with seperate pins for red blue and green, as well as horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.  Originally used by IBM for its VGA standard of 256 colors in 640x480 pixels at 60Hz, these connectors are capable of sending almost any analog video information, depending on the video adapter and monitor to which they are attached.

 The VGA connector is excellent for analog video, but for digital video the standard is DVI.

 ==Coaxial==
 Coaxial wiring is commonly used in home cable systems. It carries sound and video over a single wire. For interconnecting audio and video components, and for connecting game consoles, this has become mostly obsolete.

 As with composite connections, in Europe a SCART convertor is widely available to connect a S-Video connector in a SCART socket.

 S-Video works by separating the chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) into two seperate pairs of wires. This leads to a higher quality picture than composite. While it is more advanced than its earlier cousin, s-video is also on its way out, in favor of DVI and Component connections
