Composite AV Cable Configurations

Composite AV cable assemblies are commonly used to transmit analog video and audio signals between consumer electronics, multimedia equipment, TVs, monitors and other AV devices.

Depending on the equipment design, the cable may use a standard 3-plug connection, a device-specific AV output connector, a multi-pin interface or a custom connector on one end.

3-Plug Composite AV Cable

A traditional AV composite cable normally carries one composite video channel together with left and right analog audio signals.

Typical channel identification:

Yellow — Composite Video
White — Left / Mono Audio
Red — Right Audio

Yihetai can customize cable length, conductor structure, shielding, connector molding, jacket color, strain relief and connector configuration according to your equipment requirements.

AV Out Cable for TVs and Multimedia Devices

A custom AV out cable can connect the audio and video output of a device to the corresponding input of a TV, monitor, recorder or other multimedia equipment.

For an AV cable TV application, the connector type and pin assignment should always be confirmed before production, because different devices may use different AV output interfaces and signal definitions.

Yihetai can manufacture AV output cables for televisions, multimedia players, cameras, game systems, display equipment and other electronic devices based on your existing cable, sample, drawing or pinout definition.

AV to RCA Cable Configurations

Yihetai can manufacture an AV to RCA cable using a device-specific AV connector, 3.5mm multi-pole connector or multi-pin interface on one end and separate audio/video connectors on the other.

Typical configurations include:

Device AV output to 3-plug connection
3.5mm AV connector to separate video and audio plugs
Multi-pin device connector to AV breakout
Custom AV connector to separate audio/video outputs

Custom projects can be manufactured according to your device pinout, connector drawing, cable sample or electrical requirements.

Where the device uses a proprietary AV output, we recommend confirming the exact pin assignment before production to ensure that video, left audio, right audio and ground are connected correctly.

AV Multi Out Cables for Game Consoles

Many legacy game consoles and multimedia devices use an AV Multi Out connector to output analog video and stereo audio signals to a TV, monitor or external display device. These cable assemblies usually require a console-side multi out connector and separate video/audio connectors on the display side.

For projects such as Wii AV cable, AV cable PS2, AV cable PS3, N64 AV cable, GameCube AV cable or similar AV Multi Out cable assemblies, please provide the console-side connector sample or detailed pin assignment before production.

AV Cable Colors & TV Input Guide

Traditional composite AV connections use color-coded connectors to help identify the video and audio channels. The most common arrangement uses yellow for composite video, white for left or mono audio, and red for right audio.

What Do Red, White and Yellow AV Cable Colors Mean?

AV Cable Colors

🟡 Yellow — Composite Video

⚪ White — Left / Mono Audio

🔴 Red — Right Audio

Connecting an AV Cable to a TV

When connecting an AV cable to a TV RCA input, each channel should be matched with the corresponding video or audio input on the television.

A typical connection is:

Yellow → VIDEO IN

White → AUDIO LEFT / MONO

Red → AUDIO RIGHT

The AV output connector on the source device may vary depending on the equipment. Some devices use separate connectors, while others use a 3.5mm multi-pole connector, AV Multi Out connector or proprietary device interface.

For an AV cable TV application, always check the TV input specification and source-device pinout before connecting or manufacturing the cable, because signal assignments and connector configurations can vary between equipment.

AV Cable to HDMI: Cable or Converter?

Many customers search for an AV cable to HDMI, RCA cable to HDMI or audio video cable to HDMI when they need to connect older AV equipment to a modern TV, monitor or display with an HDMI input.

However, traditional composite AV and HDMI use different signal formats. Composite AV carries analog video and audio signals, while HDMI uses a digital audio/video interface. In most applications, a simple passive cable cannot convert these signals directly.

For this reason, the correct solution normally depends on whether you need only a custom cable assembly or an active signal-conversion device.

AV Cable to HDMI Converter

An AV cable to HDMI converter is typically required when converting traditional analog composite video and stereo audio into a digital HDMI output.

A typical connection works like this:

AV Source Device
→ Composite Video + Stereo Audio Cable
→ Active AV-to-HDMI Converter
→ HDMI Cable
→ TV / Monitor

The same principle applies when searching for an RCA cable to HDMI solution. The AV cable carries the analog signals from the source device, while the active converter performs the signal conversion required for the HDMI display.

Therefore, an AV-to-HDMI connection should not normally be treated as a passive cable-only solution.

PS2 AV Cable to HDMI

Older game consoles such as the PS2 were designed to output analog audio/video signals, while many modern televisions now provide HDMI inputs.

A PS2 AV cable to HDMI setup therefore generally requires two separate functions:

The AV cable carries the console’s analog video and audio signals.
An active converter changes those analog signals into a digital HDMI-compatible output.

Typical setup:

PS2 AV Multi Out
→ Composite AV Cable
→ AV-to-HDMI Converter
→ HDMI Display

Yihetai can manufacture custom cable assemblies for the console-side AV connection according to the required connector, pinout, cable length, molding and signal configuration.

Audio Video Cable to HDMI

When specifying an audio video cable to HDMI project, it is important to first determine whether the requirement involves:

A passive cable assembly
A custom breakout cable
A device-specific AV cable
Or an active analog-to-digital conversion product

Yihetai specializes in custom cable assembly manufacturing. We can support the cable portion of the connection according to your connector type, pin assignment, cable length and mechanical requirements.

Projects that require active AV-to-HDMI signal conversion should be evaluated separately because the electronic conversion function is different from the cable assembly itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do AV cable colors mean?

Traditional AV cable colors are commonly used to identify different audio and video channels. Yellow normally represents composite video, white represents left or mono audio, and red represents right audio.
For custom AV cable assemblies, connector colors, cable colors, labels and molded identification can also be specified according to the project requirements.

Can an AV cable connect to a TV RCA input?

Yes, if the AV cable signal configuration matches the TV RCA input.
A typical composite connection uses yellow for video, white for left or mono audio and red for right audio. However, the source-device connector and pin assignment should always be confirmed because AV output configurations can vary between equipment.

Can I use an AV cable to HDMI without a converter?

In most composite AV applications, a passive AV cable to HDMI is not sufficient.
Traditional composite AV carries analog audio/video signals, while HDMI uses a digital interface. An active signal converter is therefore normally required between the AV source and HDMI display.

What is an AV cable to HDMI converter?

An AV cable to HDMI converter is an active electronic device that converts analog AV audio/video signals into a digital HDMI-compatible output.
A typical system includes an AV cable from the source device, an active converter and an HDMI connection to the display.

Can a PS2 AV cable connect to HDMI?

A PS2 AV cable to HDMI connection normally requires more than a passive cable.
The console-side AV cable carries the analog audio/video signal, while an active converter is generally required to convert that signal into an HDMI-compatible digital output for a modern display.

Can an AV cable connect to USB?

AV and USB use different interfaces and may carry different signal types. A simple passive AV to USB cable is not suitable for every application.
If your project requires an AV-to-USB connection, provide the signal type, device interface and intended function so that the correct cable assembly or conversion solution can be evaluated.
