What happens if you unplug Component Video cables? 

Grandma trying to figure out why her TV isnt working properly

You would see more interesting results if you tried this out on an old CRT tv, the lcd is converting it to digital and giving an error when you do something completely wrong, but the older crts don't have digital logic to check if they are getting a valid signal (besides some of the later HD sets and 100 hz sets in PAL regions) and would try to display the signal even when you had no luma signal. You would most likely get a red and/or blue image that distorts and moves erratically across the screen without the green/y/luma cable connected because that one also carries sync data telling the tv how quickly to sweep the beam across the screen and when to go to the next line

These are the kind of questions keep me awake

So i just woke up at 5 am from a 11 hour sleep and now I'm on youtube watching a man unplug and plug some TV cables. This is entertaining.

This was more entertaining than i thought.

This takes me back. I used to do this to our cable box when I was younger. It was hooked up via component and used to switch around the colors of the rca cable to see different effects. Soo fascinating :)

all of the different results you get are really neat! i've never personally thought to try mixing and matching the cables, lol, so i had no idea they could do that

2010's kids trying to figure out how to use TV

I...didn't even know that composite cable could be used as component cable.

Well, now I know how to emulate analog TV.

Had an issue that the colors would show wrong (blue) when connected on component, one of the input pins was loose

I remember when my wii screen was gray, so i checked the cables and fixed them lol

Screw digital! Analog is way more fun and much more interesting.

great way to theme your tv!

3:39 I saw the The Man Music Video by Taylor Swift!!! Edit : I remember when I'm connecting the component cables in the wrong way when I was a teen 😂 thanks for the informative video!

How high shall we put this?

you can also try it on an old CRT TV but it only has audio and video slots

Seems fun to try.

Themes between Blue, Purple, Teal, Green, Orange, and Lighter Purple!

1:25 The delicate lines you see on the screen when you touch the end of the Pb/Pr cable of Component Video are likely caused by interference or signal degradation. Component video cables transmit analog signals, and any disturbance or interference introduced into the cable can manifest as artifacts on the screen. When you touch the cable, you might be introducing electromagnetic interference or disrupting the signal flow, leading to those lines appearing on the screen.

2:19 perfect colors

i never know i needed this

Corrections: 0:24 and 2:20 Compsite and Compostie to Composite

Very nice demonstration.

Reject digital, Embrace analog! 😀

thanks that was helpful. I'm working on YPbPr HD camera and I'm not getting any picture, so i'll check the power and Y signal first, it good that you test the connections in the Composite/CVBS/AV.

cable on ypbpr meaning: y = contrast, sharpness, brightness pb = blue, magenta, yellow color pr = red, green, cyan

What if you connect composit video cables into component?

You: mom, can we get a tv? Mom: we have tv at home TV at home: 1:01

I’ve actually always wondered tbh

i remember doing this with my xbox 360 when i was younger

What device are you using here? I’ve never seen something that lets you use composite and component together (not switching inputs) like that. Then again I’ve never tried it haha

the “pr” sends “red” signal, “pb” sends “blue” and “green” signal, and “y” sends the “contrast”, “sharpness”, and “brightness”

nice to see another kiwi

Grandad trying to figure out why her speakers isn't working properly

thx for the tests, it saves time

All text from the .txt file. "Component Video uses 3 RCA connectors colored red, blue and green. You may be forgiven for thinking that these carry red, blue and green color signals, however this is not the case. The green connector (Y) carries the luminance signal, the red connector (Pr) carries the red deviation from the luminance and the blue connector (Pb) carries the blue deviation from the luminance. I don't have any Component Video cables, so I am going to use Composite Video cables instead which have the same connectors but are different colors. I am going to use red for red, white for blue and yellow for green. When all 3 Component Video cables are plugged in correctly, the colors on the TV look normal. If I unplug both the color cables and leave only the luminance cable connected, the TV goes grayscale. This is what happens if I plug in Pb but not Pr. This is what happens if I plug in Pr but not Pb. If I touch the end of the color cables, it makes faint colored horizontal lines come up across the grayscale image. If I touch Pr the lines are red and cyan, if I touch Pb the lines are blue and yellow. What happens if I plug the color cables in the wrong way round? Blue turns red and red turns blue, green stays green. What happens if I unplug the luminance cable but leave the color cables plugged in? The TV says 'No Signal'. This is what happens if I plug the luminance cable into the Composite Video port and leave the color cables plugged into the correct ports. This is what happens if I have the luminance cable plugged into the Composite Video port and unplug the color cables. What happens if I plug the luminance cable into one of the color ports? The TV says 'Mode Not Supported'. This is what happens if I plug the color cables into the Composite Video port while the luminance cable is plugged into the correct port. This is what happens if I plug the color cables into the luminance port while the luminance cable is plugged into the Composite Video port. What happens if I plug the color cables into the audio ports while the luminance cable is plugged into the correct port? Nothing while in the menu because there is no audio. If I switch to live TV which has audio, there are colourful horizontal lines across the grayscale image."

I like the color geen! (0:25 for reference)

Blue turns red and red turns blue? I saw something similar in Nero Video - there I can switch among 6 color schemes - RGB (all colors stay), RBG (green and blue switched), GRB (red and green switched), BGR (red and blue switched), GBR (red turns green, green turns blue, blue turns red) and BRG (green turns red, blue turns green, red turns blue).

Why is there no green deviation?

Please do same thing with composite video

I connected green into yellow On the Av ports on the tv and it’s black and white

if you swap the PB and PR, it becomes RGB to BGR

Analog is very fun

the only way to destroy tv gently

What is the device you connected? The ui is the exact same as samsung tv media play from around 2011

Using Composite wires on Component feels kind of illegal.

The real question is "Whats the right RGB signal?".

3:02 3:12 i think they look like shadow

hey i did that as a kid at my grandma’s house!

What system do you used for plugging in Component Video in wrong way?

YCbCr. not YPbPr

Next video title: What happens if you unplug AV Cables?

woah this is cool

What is the model you are using? (Number and device you used in this video)

Good video!

I have that exact model Samsung tv box that i only usefor dvd nowadays

What’s is his music name

does not break the colors system cool

nice dude

What type of Samsung set top box was

What set top box is that?

LOL, I have the exact same SAMSUNG TV! I use it to play GTA 5 on my ps3

Hello New Zealander!

First

What was the device used to do this? If it was me i whould have used a PS3

sicc

Wow

6 diffrent colors

Huh interesting, never knew about component connectors, only about composite. But they look practically identical tho so hmmm

Wait I have same tv

that is a Samsung thing?

wow

don't you mean by AV cables?

Haha, here in my DVD player I have AV (3 pin - Yellow for Video, Red and White for Stereo) and my STB and Smart stick use HDMI. I have a LG (2017) TV and I switch to Composite (RGBYW) it shows Black and white (with audio) so I switch it to B&W for movies that are corrupt I plug in AV and I switch to Composite mode (5/6 cable pin)

this is AV

Hello

What if you unplug your pc, while its running a game

Lol nice

1st December You know what's that? Hint: 🇷🇴
