S-Video - SVHS - Y/C Cables
S-Video cables (also known as SVHS cables) are a step up from
composite cables in that they split a video signal into two
different components, Luminance and Chrominance (Y/C), instead
of transmitting the entire signal over one cable.
An important aspect to consider when purchasing S-Video cables
is the composition and quality of the cable itself. Many low-end
S-Video cables are constructed of four conductor cable as opposed
to two miniature coax cables. It is essential that S-Video
cables be constructed with a heavy gauge mini-coax cable,
especially over long distances. S-Video cables carry a 75
ohm analog signal that low-end cables can not properly support
resulting in ghosting and fussy displays.
