The picture is slightly better in some circumstances because the S-Video separates the brightness and color signal from the source on two conductors in the cable. The resolution is the same, and does not effect the audio quality.

If your TV has only S-Video or composite connectors, you may notice no difference in the quality of the picture. The big steps in quality upgrade come when you use a component video or HDMI cable.

S-Video can only send standard definition video, up to 480i. Component can send video up to 1080i High Definition.


What is an AV port?

Within the video industry, an AV port is any connection that carries audio and video signals, either into or out of video equipment. Such ports take a number of forms depending on the signal format being carried such as: Composite video and audio on three RCA or phono connectors Scart connectors, found on European equipment for composite or RGB signals Component and audio on 5 RCA connectors BNC connectors carrying SDI (studio based rather than domestic) HDMI for digital video and audio Connectors such as VGA and DVI are also included although they are strictly only video ports.


What gives better picture RCA or cable?

An RCA cable with composite video is better than standard definition cable. An RCA cable set (3 cables) can also carry a component video signal, which can be Hugh definition up to 1080p. Cable television can also carry a high definition signal if you have a HD cable box or a TV with a digital tuner. For connecting a VCR, an RCA composite video cable will give a better picture than the RF antenna cable.


What is an s input?

S probably stands for S-video. It is a video signal that uses two separate wires - one to carry the brightness information and the other to carry color information. It offers better quality than composite signals because the brightness information carries more detail in an S-video signal than is possible with a composite. Composite signals are normally connected with an RCA (phono) jack or a BNC. S-video is identified by a 4 pin mini-din connector, two phonos or two BNCs.


What does s-video mean on a DVD player?
