To send component video you need a set of RGB KAT5 units. These have 4
video
channels normally used Red, Green,Blue and composite Sync.

When used for Component Video, only 3 channels are used for Y-Cr-Cb. The
remaining "spare" video channel can be used for carrying SPDIF
digital
audio, or if the 75ohm termination is switched OFF you can use the spare
channel to carry a MONO analogue audio signal.

As there is only the one spare channel you can send Centre audio OR
subwoofer but not both. Your existing KAT5 units could be used to carry an
S-video feed to the screen from another source and the audio channels used
for Centre and Sub instead of left and right.  If you were to do that then
the spare channel on the RGB set could be used for composite if required.

Keith
