Yes.
Are you too young to remember these?

Just came across a bunch of composite cables in a bin I was going through as I’m moving. I’ve got way too much of this kind of stuff that I need to get rid of. I hate moving.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You know how you think it’s better to keep them, just in case?
It is.
valkyre09@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Weird obscure cable you haven’t used in 10 years?
Guaranteed to need it 7 days after getting rid of it

I really loved those kitchen gadgets back then. These days, you really don’t have separate lines for mustard, mayo and ketchup anymore.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah… even older… I still have an Intelivision, which was not purchased used! It was my parents, but it was handed down to me and I kept it ever since. If I ever get my life together one day I would love to set all my old stuff back up in a dedicated area and go through what I have and clean it all up and pray most of it still works.

Give me a second to switch my oscilloscope to XY mode.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I typed the long form of this before, but I bought a projector with no sound system, and just hooked up my existing small TV to the composite audio and the display to the projector
Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah? Those were on the ps2

Sadly, yes

When having S-Video was the shit.
Noobnarski@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s not how the audio works on cinch.
Red is the right channel and white is the left channel, so you need both for stereo.
If you use just one you just hear one side.
Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was a kid when I heard that and never thought to look it up. It seemed legit at the time.
tino@lemmy.world 2 months ago
wait, you could plug something to the TV ? the two wires going out of mine was electricity and antenna, and no remote.
aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes. Very yes.

I am black and white TV, no VCR invented yet old.

Everyone saying they are older than these, but composite video dates back to the 1950s.
Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
1930s

I think RCA plugs are from the thirties but they definitely didn’t have composite video back then! They were developed mid-50s.
blackbeans@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Those are modern! My audio equipment used DIN plugs. And the tv only had an antenna input.

Nice, still in use? Show the front too, these are pretty receivers.
dan69@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ones for internet, ones for tv and ones for sound. Never really understood what the white was for… 😆
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Uh… Afaik, internet data does not use rca. The yellow is video, the white is left audio, the red is right audio (together, stereo sound).
dan69@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You’re absolutely correct. All i knew was that one was video and one was audio. Didn’t know audio split… spanks!!
fum@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
One was for video, one for audio and one for colors, no?
Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Two stereo audio (red, white) and one video(yellow). Called rca composite.
The colours one you are thinking about was called YPbPr Component connector and it split the video signal in multiple colour channels for clearer video signal.
suodrazah@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
No, yellow is video, red and white are audio channels. You might be thinking of component video, but that doesn’t include audio in the three cables.

Easily. I had two computers before I had one that was this advanced.

My modern ish sony Bravia TV still has these. My PS2 is currently connected to them.
