AV-output
— output for analogue video and audio transmission. Usually, this term refers to a composite interface, in which a video signal and each of the two channels of stereo sound are transmitted separately over three wires. Actually, the combination of audio and video in one output is one of the advantages of the AV output. On the other hand, the image quality with such a connection is lower than through a component interface or even S-Video, and this option is not compatible with HD either. Most often, the AV output in camcorders uses a standard 3.5 mm mini-jack — a traditional set of 3 RCA ports for portable devices would be too bulky.
