This is RCA. Wasn’t composite early HD with RBG-RW?
You're thinking of component. The two are (or were) frequently mixed up.
Yep, you’re right! Ah the memories.
A good way to remember is that RGB on the same wire is a Composite signal whereas when they have their own cables they are sent as individual Components.
Composite is Red, White(Sometimes black) and Yellow.
The best way to remember is Composite rhymes with shit.
RCA is just the connector, composite video is all the video signal chucked into one cable - component video splits it out into the colour components (getting the signal to that early HD level)
This is RCA (the left / right audio) and composite video.
This meme would have been better with component video and TOSLINK or S-Video and toslink.
I don't see how this meme would be better with an audio cable that doesn't have a separate physical signal path for left and right channels. The Van Gogh panel wouldn't make any sense.
