A system, method, and apparatus for utilizing a single video input for receiving multiple video format signals in an electronic video receiver. The single video input includes a set of inputs to accommodate a component video signal from any one of a multitude of video components that output video signals in component video format. An input video signal in one of several component video formats provided to the single video input is selected and processed according to its video format. Once processed, the selected input video signal is output as an output video signal of a particular video format. The particular video format is compatible with a video format utilized by an external component.
