What is 480p? i read that the highest resolution on composite cables are 480p. what if you use component cables what is the highest resolution on that? and what about s video?
please help

The highest you can get on Composite (Yellow Cable) is 480i
The highest you can get on Component (Red, Green and Blue Cables) is 480p



There's an example of the size of the picture

S-Video is an In-between of composite and component, it can be used at 480i on the Wii but offers a better quality picture to composite.

The P is for progressive
The I is for interlaced

here is an example of the two types of picture:






From left to right, Components (480p), S-Video (480i), Composite (480i), and ? (SVGA maybe?)

Is it quite as exaggerated as that? (interlaced scan)

Go PAL

"Component video is capable of producing signals such as 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, but, according to some, digital connections such as DVI (video only) and HDMI (which can also include up to 8 channels of audio) generally give better results at the higher resolutions (up to 1080p). HDMI also includes both a video and audio signal in a single cable." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video

"S-Video, as most commonly implemented, carries high-bandwidth 480i or 576i resolution video, i.e. standard definition video." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video

EXCUSE MY FRENCH?

heheh

something to do with a analouge that deteriates (i know this one i think beaucoup=like very much or something along those lines )digital signal

Like very much analougue digital signals that deteriate?

close, but wwwaaaay off

because the signal is analogue and it will deteriorate at a faster rate than a digital signal

and ive supposedly been doing french for a year

oh well...

I got an A at GCSE so don't get disheartened

Languages aren''t my thing to be honest; they are my worst, i have decided to not bother with either German or French. If i need them later in life, i can learn them outside of school.

OXYMORON!

No. He was on the X axis but too far up on the Y axis.

So do I have to have a HD TV to use 480P or can I do it with a normal widescreen television? It's a new one..But no LCD or Plasma...

480i and 480p are SDTV, Standard TV.
The specifics on support of various HDTV modes on your HDTV are up to the capabilities of the TV itself.

So when I want to use the 480P setting I need to buy a component cable? And how do I know my TV can handle the componnent cable, or is it still with normal Red White Yellow plugs or S-video?

To do 480p, you'll need the component cable, which is red blue green (for video) and red white (for audio). It will be aviable online, just as the gamecube components were.

Great so now I only need to find out if my TV supports it....I don't think so cause I haven't seen a green entrance on my TV....

Is S-video with it possible too?

No, S-video is just higher quality 480i.

You'll need to look for the three ports for video, red green blue. If you are missing one, you're missing all of them, as you have to have all three to have component inputs.

You'll most likely have a red/white, which is just the left/right audio signals. The yellow one near those two is the video from composite. Some tv's have a s-video connector above the yellow connector, which can be used instead of the yellow composite for a higher quality 480i.
