GLOSSARY

S-Video connection

The S-Video Hosiden connector is pretty wide spread in the TV/ Video area. S-Video transmits Y/C (luminance = brightness and chrominance = color information) separately which preserves image quality because there is no need to separate them again by filter afterwards as it is the case with FBAS Composite.

Notice: Often S-Video is misleadingly called S-VHS. S-VHS is a similar technique recording the brightness signal (Luminance) and color signal C (Chrominance) in S-VHS VCRs separately, but it's not identical to S-Video.
