All images (in fact all of our sensory inputs) are analog. That means they are proportional and the strength of the sensory input carries the core information. The relationships of the sensory input carries the information, how bright, how dark, what color are all analog elements and to be meaningful the analog relationships must be maintained. When these images are converted to analog video those relationships are still critical to maintaining the content and meaning of the image. For high definition the amplitude accuracy must be great. The frequency range of even static images converted to the video signal extends from below 20 Hz to 35 MHz (and even as high as 70 MHz in some applications). Any amplitude or time errors in the signal will create a distorted picture on the final screen.
These are just some of the symptoms of a degraded analog signal channel for video:
- Ghosting or ringing - if the cable construction is not very precise, characteristic impedance is not uniform all throughout the length of the cable, signal is reflected not only from the receiving end's connector but also along the cable itself. This reflected wave causes ghosting.
- Pale blurry picture - high frequency losses causing attenuation on the cable results in lower signal amplitude which will in turn inadequately drive the picture circuit evidenced by soft even blurry images.
-Off color balance - Component video uses three separate cables to carry the color information. Any mismatch in the losses, phase shift between the three cables or differences in the length of the three cables.
A.D.E. Component Video cables use silver cores to minimize the losses especially at high frequencies. This is combined with special low loss foamed PTFE dielectrics and silver-plated copper braid and foil shields in a precision manufacturing process to maintain precise impedance to minimize reflections, phase shifts and losses. They are all very carefully terminated by hand in an exacting process to maintain the performance all the way to the connector. Truly amazing picture quality and color detail.
