Brand new Component Video cable, plain cable quality.
Not coaxial cable & not shielded like my more expensive cables, apparently no difference can be seen in picture quality though.
Cable type is the same as that commonly used for plain yellow,red,white cables.
Nice looking plugs however.

Cable length: 10m

Component cables provide excellent picture quality - superior to s-video & plain video.
Component video carries the signal in 3 wires = Y(luminance),Pr & Pb(colour information), which improves picture quality due to several technical reasons.

Most standalone DVD players have Component video out.
Component video inputs on TVs are sometimes labelled simply 'DVD', see photo for an example of Component video sockets(order of colours is not important)

*HDTV(High Definition TV)/Progressive Scan:
Some newer TVs & Projectors support HDTV/Progressive Scan, providing a very sharp picture when used with a device that provides a HDTV/Progressive Scan signal.
Example of TVs that often support HDTV/Progressive Scan: Plasma TVs, LCD TVs, LCD projection TVs. It's also likely many '100Hz' CRT TVs support Progressive Scan.
Most new Projectors seem to support some level of HDTV.

Many recent DVD players support progressive scan, the Xbox, Gamecube & Playstation2 can output HDTV signals - depending on the games. The Xbox 360 & Playstation3 will always support HDTV.

What is progressive scan? :
Plain video signals are interlaced, which means only half of the lines that make up the picture are drawn onto the TV screen - 1st half is drawn, then the other half.
Progessive scan draws all the lines at once, this can make the picture considerably sharper & reduce flicker on some displays.

What is High Definition TV? :
High Definition TV is a set of standard for newer, higher resolution video.
The common standard are 480p, 720p, 1080i. p means Progressive, I means Interlaced (see above) When used with PAL video(PAL is the standard for NZ video, unfortunately the standards don't seem to be set as clearly for NZ), the signal can be 576p.
Plain(non-HDTV) video is 576i(PAL), 480i(NTSC)
The numbers refer to the number of horizontal lines that make up the picture, eg: 480p = 480 lines, 720p = 720 lines, 1080i = 1080 lines(though is interlaced, so apparently looks little, if any better than 720p) Generally the higher the number of lines used, the more detailed & sharper the picture is.

Note: These cables carry video signal only, you need a separate cable for audio.
