What Is S Video?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    S-video is the abbreviation for 'Separate Video'. The s-video cables transmit analog video signals. These cables can transmit the video data through two separate signals. These two separate signals send in the brightness and colour data separately. The s-video has a very high capacity of transmitting 480i or 576i video.

    These days the s-video cables are connected by the use of a 4 pin mini-DIN connecters. These connecters use 75ohm execution impendence.

    The S-video cable has 4 numbers inscribed on it, these numbers respectively stand for.
    Pin no 1. GND [Floor or ground (Y)]
    Pin no 2. GND [Ground (C)]
    Pin no 3. Y [Intensity (Luminance)]
    Pin no 4. C [Color (Chrominance)]

    S-Video cables are used for connecting DVDs or VCRs to the TV. They are also used by high end gaming machines. The s-video cables with the mini-DIN connecters are also used in some computers. However the only drawback of the mini-DIN cables is that they are very weak and sometimes bend over, which results in bad picture quality or the picture turns Black and White.
