Enhanced-definition Television - Connectivity

Connectivity

As EDTV signals require more bandwidth than is feasible with SDTV connection standards, such as composite video, SCART or S-Video, then higher bandwidth media must be used to accommodate the additional data transfer. To achieve EDTV, consumer electronic devices such as a progressive scan DVD player or modern video game consoles must be connected through at least a component video cable (typically using 3 RCA cables for video), a VGA connector, or a DVI or HDMI connector. For over-the-air television broadcasts, EDTV content uses the same connectors as HDTV.
