CONVERTING OR INTERFACING VIDEO SIGNALS
Connecting video sources is complicated with all the possible video formats in use today. Every day new possibilities are popping up in the digital domain. New connectors, new cable and a wide scope of performance grades including consumer, industrial, broadcast, etc. are further complications to sort out when connecting video equipment.

The connection solution is sometimes available with interface devices that will change one type of video signal to another type of video signal. Understanding typical video formats and related interfaces/converters are key to producing high quality video projection systems. The economics of video systems suggests that if all source video is in a common format, it is easier to switch, distribute, and otherwise manipulate.
