View source for VPORT

'''VPORT''' is a proprietary connector developed by [[RCA]] (Thomson) in 2002 for simplified connection of the Microsoft Xbox video game system to RCA CRT televisions. The VPORT jack carries [[Component (YPbPr)]] video and stereo audio through a single cable, and can also function as a second component video input when used with an adapter cable.

The connector physically resembles the Xbox AV connector, with both ends of the VPORT cable using Xbox-style AV plugs — one labeled "TV" for the television end and one unlabeled for the Xbox/source end.

* '''GP650XB''' — VPORT-to-Component RCA cable (8 ft). Converts the VPORT jack into standard component video (Y/Pb/Pr) + stereo audio RCA jacks, allowing connection of any component video source such as a DVD player or satellite receiver.
