! [[Composite video]]
|[[File:Composite-video-cable.jpg|center|150x150px]]
| For display on analog systems with SD resolutions ([[PAL]] or [[NTSC]])<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://video.matrox.com/en/products/legacy|title=Legacy Products &#124; Matrox Video|website=video.matrox.com|accessdate=9 November 2023}}</ref> the [[RCA connector]] output can be used. The single pin connector carries all resolution, brightness and color information, making it the lowest quality dedicated video connection.<ref>{{cite web|title=Video Signals and Connectors|url=https://documentation.apple.com/en/soundtrackpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=C%26section=2%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:SoundtrackPro-UserManual-90762CPE-1008751|publisher=Apple|access-date=29 January 2016|archive-date=26 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180326040817/http://documentation.apple.com/en/soundtrackpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=C%26section=2%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:SoundtrackPro-UserManual-90762CPE-1008751|url-status=live}}</ref> Depending on the card the [[SECAM]] color system might be supported, along with non-standard modes like [[PAL#PAL 60|PAL-60]] or [[NTSC#NTSC-N/NTSC50|NTSC50]].

![[S-Video]]
|[[File:S-video-connection.jpg|center|135x135px]]
|For display on analog systems with SD resolutions ([[PAL]] or [[NTSC]]), the S-video cable carries two synchronized signal and ground pairs, termed '''Y''' and '''C''', on a four-pin [[mini-DIN connector]]. In composite video, the signals co-exist on different frequencies. To achieve this, the luminance signal must be low-pass filtered, dulling the image. As S-Video maintains the two as separate signals, such detrimental low-pass filtering for luminance is unnecessary, although the chrominance signal still has limited bandwidth relative to component video.

!7P

|Non-standard 7-pin mini-DIN connectors (termed "7P") are used in some computer equipment (PCs and Macs). A 7P socket accepts and is pin compatible with a standard 4-pin S-Video plug.<ref name="pin7">{{cite book |author=Keith Jack |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kp5J7G8kXN4C&q=Video%20demystified%3A%20a%20handbook%20for%20the%20digital%20engineer.%20Newnes.%20p.%2069.&pg=PA69 |title=Video demystified: a handbook for the digital engineer |publisher=Newnes |year=2007 |isbn=9780750678223}}</ref> The three extra sockets may be used to supply [[Composite video|composite (CVBS)]], an RGB or YPbPr video signal, or an [[I²C]] interface.<ref name="pin7" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pinoutguide.com/Video/svideo_7pin_pinout.shtml|title=ATI Radeon 7 pin SVID/OUT connector pinout diagram @ pinoutguide.com|website=pinoutguide.com|accessdate=9 November 2023}}</ref>

! [[Component video]]
|[[File:Component_video_jack.jpg|center|150x150px]]
| It uses three cables, each with an RCA connector ([[YCbCr|YC<sub>B</sub>C<sub>R</sub>]] for digital component, or [[YPbPr|YP<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub>]] for analog component); it is used in older projectors, video-game consoles, and DVD players.<ref>{{cite web|title=How to Connect Component Video to a VGA Projector|url=http://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/connect-component-video-vga-projector-1133.html|publisher=AZCentral|access-date=29 January 2016}}</ref> It can carry [[Standard-definition television|SDTV]] [[480i]]/[[576i]] and [[Enhanced-definition television|EDTV]] [[480p]]/[[576p]] resolutions, and [[High-definition television|HDTV]] resolutions [[720p]] and [[1080i]], but not [[1080p]] due to industry concerns about copy protection. Its graphics quality is equivalent to HDMI for the resolutions it carries,<ref>{{cite web|title=Quality Difference Between Component vs. HDMI|url=http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/81236-quality-difference-between-component-vs-hdmi|publisher=Extreme Tech|access-date=29 January 2016|archive-date=4 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204085155/http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/81236-quality-difference-between-component-vs-hdmi|url-status=live}}</ref> but for best performance for Blu-ray, other 1080p sources like [[Pay-per-view|PPV]], or [[Ultra-high-definition television|4K Ultra HD]], a digital display connector is required.

! [[DB13W3]]
|[[File:DB13W3_Pinout.svg|center|200x200px]]
| An analog standard once used by [[Sun Microsystems]], [[Silicon Graphics|SGI]] and [[IBM]].

|[[File:DMS-59.jpg|center|200x200px]]
| A connector that provides a [[Digital Visual Interface|DVI]] or [[Video Graphics Array|VGA]] output on a single connector.

![[DE-9]]
|[[File:Numbered_DE9_female_Diagram.svg|center|frameless|200x200px]]
|The historical connector used by [[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]] and [[Color Graphics Adapter|CGA]] graphics cards is a female nine-pin D-subminiature ([[DE-9]]). The signal standard and pinout are backward-compatible with CGA, allowing EGA monitors to be used on CGA cards and vice versa.
