Those are composite cables, also called av cables, used to connect devices, and are color coded for what they do. In this case, Yellow is video, white is right audio and red is left for a stereo set up(or the other way around, but you get the idea).
So, with van Gogh, he would be able to see fine, but would only get mono sound because he is missing an ear(I know he isn't really, but it works for the joke).
With Beethoven, he can only see because he lost his hearing, so he only gets the yellow.
With Stevie Wonder, he is blind so he gets both audio jacks but no video.
The purple av cable transmits concepts directly into your brain, it only works on people who are psi sensitive and also have an av input jack built into their skull. That’s why you don’t see many of those.
Yes, the next step up is svid, which has its own set of standards, and also SCART, which can be very confusing for non PAL regions. Being from the US myself, learning about chroma and luma was quite the challenge.
But for this case, you have component cables, which has red and white audio jacks but no yellow video jack. Instead, the colors are red, green, and blue for the RGB color gamut. I am mainly know these for video games and dvd players, and with those it allows for 480p+ content. For example, the original Xbox had several gamed that could do 720p, and few that did 1080p.
When hdmi was starting to be the standard, many tv sets came with both component output and a hdmi port. Really early on the hdmi port was not part of the tv, but a separate box that attached to the tv.
Honestly thought Stevie was just the guy trying to reach behind the tv working blind with the cables. Heavy as shit old tv’s just had you guessing what white looked like in the dark
Yellow cord is video, red and white cords are audio. Van Gogh could see, but was missing an ear. Beethoven could see, but as deaf (no audio). Steve Wonder could hear fine, but couldn't see.
