what is the color gamut of component video

by urackon - 12/28/06 7:31 PM

With all of this talk about HDMI 1.3 and its ability to support up to 16 bits per color channel( I think thats in the trillions of colors) I was wandering what are the color capabilities of component. I would assume 16.7 million but im not sure. Does any one know?

May be moot. . .

How many colors does your TV support?

Yes, could be a moot point.

I doubt any one could tell the difference.
Component is analog the quality is almost solely dependent on the the source material and quality of the decoding electronics.
Only HD-DVD/B-Ray DVDs have the bandwidth potential to handle 16bit video. Currently pro video is 10bits. I maybe a few years before any pro gear will handle 16bits. John

You must try both set ups I had all my equipment hooked up with componit cables and the picture was horrible until I replaced them with h.d.m.i. cables one type will work best for you steweee
