Component (a.k.a. ‘YUV’ or ‘Y, Pb, Pr’) – a three wire system typically using
BNC (push & twist-on) connectors.
For analog connections, either of the last two methods is to be preferred – but it is
entirely possible to succeed with only a composite signal. When you have something
better available, however, you should naturally use it. (Try to avoid downgrading the
pre-LiveMatte signal from a Y/C camera, for example, by connecting it to your
TriCaster using composite cabling.)
Hint: cameras using IEEE 1394 connection (such as mini-DV or HDV format) are not
supported as live switching sources, for several reasons. However they may often be
connected by Y/C cable (SD cameras only) or Component cabling. This configuration may
actually provide a better color rendition for keying purpose than if it were possible to
connect them by IEEE1394 cable.
