HDTV

I have a couple short questions, and I hope you tech guys will help.

If I watch broastcast or cable HD channel or signal on an HDTV using
component, composite, or S-video cable, then is it corrected to say the
stuffs I am watching call HDTV?

Or do I have to have a HDMI connector on the HDTV, an HDMI cable, and an
HDMI connector on the reciever, and a HD channel, all four to be truly
called HDTV?

Thanks

Yes, but only through the component leads; S-video and composite ports
don't carry HDTV signals.

Or do I have to have a HDMI connector on the HDTV, an HDMI cable, and an

No, you don't *have* to have HDMI to watch HDTV. Component and DVI
cables carry it as well.

Composite & S-Video are Analog STD Def only... S-Video is better
than Composite.

Component is HDTV via Digital-Analog- Digital conversions. (Assume
source is
HD Cameras).

DVI and HDMI are pure HDTV Digital signal... No conversions.
(Assume source is
HD Cameras)


HDMI is Video & Audio... DVI is Video only.
HDMI 1.3 is coming... 1.3 Has faster bit rate & features than
HDMI 1.2a
