Premium S-Video Cable

S-video cables are cables that transmit analog video signals from a source device, such as a DVD player or gaming console, to a display device, such as a TV or monitor. They typically have a small round connector with four pins and can transmit standard definition video. This meta description provides a brief overview of S-video cables.

S-video cables, also known as separate video or Y/C cables, transmit analog video signals using two separate channels: one for luminance (brightness) and one for chrominance (color). The cable has a small round connector with four pins, with the luminance signal carried on one pair of pins and the chrominance signal carried on the other pair.

S-video cables can transmit standard definition video (480i resolution) and are commonly used to connect older devices such as VCRs, DVD players, and gaming consoles to CRT TVs and monitors. However, they do not support high definition (HD) video or digital signals, which means they are not suitable for use with modern HD TVs, monitors, or digital devices.

The quality of the video signal transmitted by an S-video cable can vary depending on the quality of the cable itself and the devices being connected. In general, S-video cables provide better picture quality than composite video cables but not as good as component video or HDMI cables.
