S-Video cables are very common nowadays and have been in use since 1995. An S video input is typically located on a TV, DVD player or DVR, VCR’s, digital TV decoders or video game console such as the Sony Playstation or X-box. Another common location to find an S Video output is on a PC graphics card that supports a TV output.
S-Video cables are widely used for computer to-TV output for business or home usage. Because it is very simple to convert S-Video to composite signal (just the logical merging of the two through a filter capacitor is required), many electronics retailers offer converter adapters for signal conversion. This conversion process will not improve the image quality, but enables the connection of otherwise incompatible units Converting composite signal to S-Video is harder, because once Luminance and Color are merged it is hard to separate them withotu losing signal quality. A way around this is to use high quality comb filters.
S-Video connections are generally not considered suitable for high-definition video signals as they are unable to carry the necessary signal bandwidth. As a result, HD sources are often connected to a monitor by way of analog component video (3 way connector) or wide-band digital methods (usually HDMI or DVI cable). However, on the older monitors with S-Video but without HDMI and DVI, some graphics cards have full display (including boot-up display) with HDMI, DVI and S-Video and partial full display with component and composite connections.
