Component cables

Anyone know of a good source to purchase long component cables to use for connecting the HVX to a monitor using the component out
 
I don't know what actually are "good prices" for component cable, but I just bought a 50 feet component cable from stevenson technical services inc. (stsi.com) for 32.99$ They have an ebay store...they also have a cheaper cable: 50 feet, for 19.99$. Hope that helps.
 
I noticed that the component cable that comes with the HVX is very short. Wouldn't you need a component cable that has rca type connectors AND that multi pin connector that attaches to the HVX200? I don't think that you can buy just any component cable. The HVX200 component cable is unique. Can anyone confirm this?

No you wouldn't because I understand the HVX comes equipped with an adapter for that mini plug, also known as the D4 output. The adapter turns it into 3 RCA type connectors which you should be able to connect with any kind of RCA wire.

So why the D4 connector? Takes a lot less space on the camera surface than three RCA connectors...
 
If you want to extend the length of the component output, you would need a female on one end and a male on the other for the component cables.

Also, if you just want to replace the cable with a longer one, the HVX D4 component cable is compatible with the one shipped by JVC for the HD1/HD10 and also with the one shipped by Canon for the XLH1. I think the Canon cable is a good three feet longer.
 
... and if you intend this cable to carry a signal you're going to record, step up to the more expensive silver core cables. Analog does funny things when it gets interference. But I somehow doubt this is the case since the component signal coming out of the HVX is probably inherently garbage.
 
which output will give the highest quality from the camera for monitoring - i thought that was component
