RGB is also the term referring to a type of [[component video]] signal used in the [[video]] electronics industry. It consists of three signals—red, green, and blue—carried on three separate cables/pins. RGB signal formats are often based on modified versions of the RS-170 and RS-343 standards for monochrome video. This type of video signal is widely used in Europe since it is the best quality signal that can be carried on the standard [[SCART]] connector.<ref name="British Standard">{{cite book |url=http://fr.meric.free.fr/Articles/articlesba/stsurtvplat/Scart/BS_EN_50049-1%20Peritelevision%20connector.pdf |title=Domestic and similar electronic equipment interconnection requirements: Peritelevision connector |date=15 June 1998 |publisher=[[British Standards Institution]] |isbn=0580298604}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Composite video vs composite sync and Demystifying RGB video |url=https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/composite-video-vs-composite-sync |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=www.retrogamingcables.co.uk}}</ref> This signal is known as [[RGBS]] (4 [[BNC connector|BNC]]/[[RCA connector|RCA]] terminated cables exist as well), but it is directly compatible with [[RGBHV]] used for computer monitors (usually carried on 15-pin cables terminated with 15-pin [[D-sub]] or 5 BNC connectors), which carries separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.

Outside Europe, RGB is not very popular as a video signal format; S-Video takes that spot in most non-European regions. However, almost all computer monitors around the world use RGB.
