What is a "composite video cable"?
A composite video cable is a type of cable used to transmit video signals from one device to another through a single cable. It combines brightness and color information into one signal, which can reduce picture quality compared to other cables, like component video. Composite video cables typically have a yellow connector for video, along with red and white connectors for audio. They were commonly used with older TVs, DVD players, and game consoles but have since been replaced by higher-quality options like HDMI in modern devices.
