Does an S-Video cable also carry audio?
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.
Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
What type of audio and or video cable includes not only carriers for both positive and negative signals but also a grounding carrier?
A balanced coaxial cable
Which video interface carries both audio and video signals?
There are two common connections for domestic video that carry both video and audio. In Europe, the SCART connector has been popular for may years. It is a 21 pin connector that carries SD video with stereo audio. In a fully wired connection, it also carries return video and audio signals. The connector also handled control lines to integrate control of players and televisions. The connector has made little impact in North America and is now being replaced in Europe by HDMI. HDMI is a digital video interface that also carries video and audio. It handles SD, HD and computer display formats. It is compatible with digital DVI connections although DVI does not support audio.
Can HDMI carry analog audio?
HDMI cables can carry audio but it is in digital format only. Any HDMI connector will be capable of carrying the audio content and any input should be capable of receiving and processing the audio in digital format. There should normally be no need to use analog audio with HDMI but there is one notable exception. HDMI shares the same video interface format as DVI, the digital display output used on computers. However, DVI does not support audio so a cable that links a DVI output to an HDMI input will not carry audio. For this reason, many new televisions have at least one HDMI input that also has an analog audio input associated with the HDMI port. This is specifically provided to cater for DVI + analog audio as delivered by many computers.
Where is the best place to buy audio video cables online?
Audio video cables can be bought from many online websites. Cable focused websites such as PC Nation, My Cable Mart, and Show Me Cables have the largest selection but other retailers like Amazon and eBay will also carry them.

What is a scart cable for?
A scart cable is a multi-pin video and audio connector common in Europe. The cable can carry audio, composite video, S-video, RGB and component video as well as a limited amount of control data. Used for connecting video recorders to televisions, it also supports return video )i.e from the television to the recorder). The connector was only used in domestic video installations and never in a commercial environment. The connector was prone to reliability problems as the weight of the cable was sometimes able to dislodge the connector. Scart connectors are now giving way to HDMI and becoming less common on new equipment.

What is a snake cable?
A snake cable, also known as a multicore cable, is a single cable that houses multiple individual cables within it. It is commonly used in audio applications to carry multiple audio signals between different pieces of equipment, reducing cable clutter and simplifying setup.
What does a HDMI audio and video cable do?
HDMI is a type of video interface developed to carry high definition video signals. Additionally, HDMI will support standard definition video and carries audio as part of the signal. The cable provides a convenient method of carrying video, audio and control signals between devices without the need to use multiple wires. HDMI is also compatible with DVI, a video display interface for computer displays. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not handle audio so the compatibility is limited to video only. HDMI supports an encoding system known as HDCP. The encoding is designed to prevent unauthorized copying of video content and increasingly commercial content is using the protection system.
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.
