📺🔀 Component RCA • Component RCA Video Splitter

This splitter duplicates a component video signal—typically three RCA channels (Y, Pb, Pr)—from one source to two destinations. It’s used to send the same high-resolution analog video to multiple TVs, projectors, or capture devices without constant cable swapping.
 
🔧 Splitter Form
1× Component RCA Input → 2× Component RCA Outputs
Each leg includes:
Green (Y) = Luminance
Blue (Pb) = Blue color difference
Red (Pr) = Red color difference
Passive Y-cable
May include matched impedance and shielding for signal integrity
 
🖥️ Compatible Devices
📼 DVD players, DVRs, and legacy media boxes
📺 CRTs, plasma screens, and flat-panel TVs with component inputs
🎮 Retro consoles with component mods (e.g. PS2, Xbox, Wii)
🎥 Projectors and AV switchers
💻 Capture cards with analog component input
 
✅ Common Uses
📡 Duplicate video signal to two displays simultaneously
🎮 Send retro console output to TV and capture device
📼 Route DVD player to projector and monitor
🎚️ Enable multi-room or multi-angle viewing setups
🧪 Prototype analog video distribution in AV labs
 
🧠 Signal Format
🔌 Component RCA (Y/Pb/Pr):
Y = brightness
Pb = blue minus luminance
Pr = red minus luminance
📺 Supports resolutions up to 1080i/720p (depending on cable quality)
🔁 No audio—video only (audio requires separate RCA cables)
⚡ No power—passive signal duplication unless amplified
 
⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
🚫 Passive splitters may reduce signal strength—use active for long runs
📉 Impedance mismatch can cause ghosting or color bleed
🔌 No sync signal—some devices may struggle with split timing
🔄 Not compatible with HDMI or composite video
🧯 Always test both outputs—some displays may be pickier than others
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧭 Match color-coded RCA plugs precisely—Y (green), Pb (blue), Pr (red)
🔍 Use short, high-quality cables to minimize degradation
📼 Keep audio cables separate—this cable handles video only
🎮 Ideal for retro setups with dual-output needs
🧪 Test resolution compatibility across all connected devices
