To make things even more complicated, the component video jacks you see on
DVD players, Betacam recorders, and some new monitors are NOT an RGB
signal, even though the connectors are pink, green and blue.

Those connectors are typically YUV component, where the green connector is
the luminance component, the blue jack is Y-R, and the red jack is Y-B. 
The result is that there is technically no green component.
