In last week's post (read the post here), I described some of the different wires and cables behind your television that you have to connect to get anything to work. But how do they work? Continue reading to find out.
Many apologies for missing a post yesterday, a few things came up as I was writing this post and I was unable to finish it before Friday, so I decided to postpone it until the next scheduled post, which is today.
That aside, let's get into the inner workings of all of these cables and such.
Starting out with the types of cables, we have component, HDMI, auxiliary, and digital audio cables.
Component: usually 3 wires: red, white, and yellow. These are standard video and left and right audio cables made out of usually copper.
HDMI: the modern day audio and video cable. It has 19 pins that carry left and right audio, as well as video and data. They are usually made of copper.
Auxiliary; these have a wide variety of configurations. It is a standard plug that looks like the headphone plug, but many look slightly different. They are a metal plug with plastic dividers that separate it into sections. Each of these sections is capable of carrying information and power, and there is always at least two sections, for positive and negative power. They can carry various types of data.
Digital Audio: a fiber optic cable that carries a red laser. It is used to carry sound information.
