combines image information such as brightness luminance color chrominance and synchronization into a single signal transmitted over one channel it is most commonly used for standard definition television and is sometimes referred to as sd video the signal is typically carried on a yellow rca connector with separate connectors used for left and right audio channels however cables with rca connectors of any color can be used for example an rgb component video cable can be used red for video green and blue for audio in professional equipment a bnc connector is often used instead other connector types may appear in compact consumer devices like digital cameras composite video supports several line resolutions including 405 line 525 line and 625 line interlaced formats it exists in three major regional variants based on analog color encoding standards ntsc pal and secam the same format can also be used to transmit monochrome black and white video signal components edit composite video signal graphic ntsc composite video signal analog displayed on a dso a composite video signal combines on one wire the video information required to recreate a color picture as well as line and frame synchronization pulses the color video signal is a linear combination of the luminance y of the picture and a chrominance subcarrier which carries the color information c a combination of hue and saturation details of the combining process vary between the ntsc pal and secam systems 6 the frequency spectrum of the modulated color signal overlaps that of the baseband signal and separation relies on the fact that frequency components of the baseband signal tend to be near harmonics of the horizontal scanning rate while the color carrier is selected to be an odd multiple of half the horizontal scanning rate this produces a modulated color signal that consists mainly of harmonic frequencies that fall between the harmonics in the baseband luma signal rather than both being in separate continuous frequency bands alongside each other in the frequency domain the signals may be separated using a comb filter 7 in other words the combination of luma and chrominance is indeed a frequency division technique but it is much more complex than typical frequency division multiplexing systems like the one used to multiplex analog radio stations on both the am and fm bands a gated and filtered signal derived from the color subcarrier called the color burst is added to the horizontal blanking interval of each line excluding lines in the vertical sync interval as a synchronizing signal and amplitude reference for the chrominance signals in ntsc composite video the 3 58 mhz burst signal is inverted in phase 180 out of phase from the reference subcarrier 8 in pal the phase of the 4 43 mhz color subcarrier alternates on successive lines in secam no color burst is used since phase information is irrelevant composite artifacts edit enlarged detail from a video source exhibiting dot crawl note the distinctive checkerboard pattern on the vertical edges between yellow and blue areas the combining of component signals to form the composite signal does the same causing a checkerboard video artifact known as dot crawl dot crawl is a defect that results from crosstalk due to the intermodulation of the chrominance and luminance components of the signal this is usually seen when chrominance is transmitted with high bandwidth and its spectrum reaches into the band of the luminance frequencies comb filters are commonly used to separate signals and eliminate these artifacts from composite sources s video and component video avoid this problem as they maintain the component signals physically separate recording edit most home analog video equipment record a signal in roughly composite format laserdiscs and type c videotape for example store a true composite signal modulated while consumer videotape formats including vhs and betamax and commercial and industrial tape formats including u matic use modified composite signals fm encoded generally known as color under 9 the professional d 2 videocassette format digitally stores a sampled analog composite video signal on magnetic tape with the advent of affordable high speed analog to digital converters real time composite to yuv sampled digital sampling has been possible since the 1980s and raw waveform sampling and software decoding have been possible since the 2010s 10 extensions edit a number of so called extensions to the visible tv image can be transmitted using composite video since tv screens hide the vertical blanking interval of a composite video signal these take advantage of the unseen parts of the signal examples of extensions include teletext closed captioning information regarding the show title a set of reference colors that allows tv sets to automatically correct ntsc hue maladjustments widescreen signaling wss for switching between 4 3 and 16 9 display

video topmost connector and composite video yellow rca connector below in home applications the composite video signal is typically connected using an rca connector normally yellow it is often accompanied by red and white connectors for right and left audio channels respectively bnc connectors and higher quality coaxial cable are often used in professional television studios and post production applications bnc connectors were also used for composite video connections on early home vcrs often accompanied by either rca connector or a 5 pin din connector for audio the bnc connector in turn post dated the pl 259 connector featured on first generation vcrs video cables are 75 ohm impedance low in capacitance typical values run from 52 pf m for an hdpe foamed dielectric precision video cable to 69 pf m for a solid pe dielectric cable 12 digital sampling and modern usage edit the active image area of composite and s video signals is digitally stored at 720 576 i25 pal and 720 480 i29 7 or 720 488 pixels this does not represent the whole signal hardware typically samples at four times the color subcarrier frequency 4fsc which includes the vertical blanking interval vbi only commercial video capture devices used in broadcast output images with the extra vbi space direct sampling with high speed adcs and software time base correction has allowed projects like the open source cvbs decode 10 to create a d 2 like a 4fsc stream that preserves and allows full presentation and inspection of the entire composite signal this can then be chroma decoded to a color image on a standard computer or via dac played back to a tv modern televisions don t always include a composite video input however european tvs have to include at least one scart connector which accepts composite video as well as ypbpr component video and sometimes s video for tvs outside of europe that lack a composite video input composite to hdmi adaptors exist that combine composite video left and right audio to either 480 or 576 or upscaled to 720 or 1080 13 see also edit list of video connectors ntsc color encoding pal color encoding references edit definition composite video computer
