Composite Video
A picture signal combined with synchronization and (possibly) color information. Usually called baseband video, or just video. A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization information. NTSC, PAL, and SECAM are all examples of composite video systems. | ||||

Composite video
A type of video signal in which all information -- the red, blue, and green signals (and sometimes audio signals as well) -- are mixed together. This is the type of signal used by televisions in the United States (see NTSC).
In contrast, most computers use RGB video, which consists of three separate signals for red, green, and blue. In general, RGB video produces sharper images than composite video does.

Composite Video
Refers to a video signal where both the luminance component and the color component(s) are transmitted on a single wire or broadcast in a limited bandwidth. Each of the major systems NTSC, PAL, and SECAM has its own definition of how the luminance and color are combined. The luminance and color information must be separated before the picture can be displayed.

Composite video
Composite video, also called CVBS (Composite Video Blanking and Sync), is the format of an analog television (picture only) signal before it is combined with a sound signal and modulated onto an RF carrier.
Composite video is often designated by the CVBS acronym, meaning any of "Color, Video, Blank and Sync", "Composite Video Baseband Signal", "Composite Video Burst Signal", or "Composite Video with Burst and Sync".
It is usually in a standard format such as NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. It is a composite of three source signals called Y, U and V (together referred to as YUV) with sync pulses. Y represents the brightness or luminance of the picture and includes synchronizing pulses, so that by itself it could be displayed as a monochrome picture. U and V between them carry the color information. They are first mixed with two orthogonal phases of a color carrier signal to form a signal called the chrominance. Y and UV are then combined. Since Y is a baseband signal and UV has been mixed with a carrier, this addition is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing.
