Having a good AV system is important, whether it be in your home, office, or otherwise. You could be an aspiring filmmaker or a worker bee presenting your idea at the next big company meeting or a keynote speaker at a conference for a cause; all of these areas (and more) require an excellent audio/visual system. Our responsibility while setting the system up is to find the correct cables/connectors.
In the vast conglomerate of cables and connectors, there are those that carry only audio, only video, and those that carry both. First, let’s talk briefly about those cables that carry only audio:
Other types of cables that carry only audio are the 3.5mm, 2.3mm, ¼”, SpeakOn and MIDI. A succinct look at video cables comes next:
The other cables that carry only video signals are the S-Video and DB9. Finally, let’s talk about cables that carry both:
The generation before this one used to have CD players and DVD players that they would want to connect to their TVs. This was technology before streaming services, so they had to make these connections using cables. This is where RCA cables came into play; a regular RCA cable consisted of three color-coded plugs extending from the player to the corresponding color-coded jack on the back of the TV/projector/output device. The typically analog signals leaving or entering devices connected via these cables go through three different channels - two for audio and one for video - making it a high-quality transmission. These cables are only able to carry unbalanced signals, so they are used for only short-distance transmissions, commonly used in record player turntables and home theater systems.
The other cables that carry audio and video signals are BNC, Component, and DisplayPort. Now that you have all the information concerning a plethora of audio-visual cables, it will become a little easy for you to buy one should you ever need to. One must have the proper audio cable that goes with its video cable counterpart if you wish to use separate cables for them or the correct AV cable, which does the work of both. This ensures that your presentation, pitch, and feature film run smoothly. We have all of the cables listed above and then some.
