S-Video Cables



    S-Video cables provide a level of video quality that can not be achieved using RF coaxial or composite cables.  S-Video cables are designed solely for the transmission of video signals between home theater components.

How S-Video Cables Work

    Just as with the composite cables, S-Video cables use the practice of separation in order to send cleaner signals along its length.  The difference between the two comes from what signals are separated.  Composite cables separate the audio and video portions of the signal that is transmits.  Since the S-Video cables are dedicated to video transmission only, this is where the separation takes place.  The information for color and luminance or brightness are sent along seperate wires through the cable.  This separation results in a cleaner signal than either composite or RF coaxial cable can provide.

Applications of S-Video Cables

    S-Video cable can be used to connect televisions, DVD players, computer video cards, receivers, and a myriad of other devices.  S-Video vs. composite: go S-Video.
