S-Video connector

S-Video connectors are currently located on graphics cards such as TV output. The standard separates the luminance part of the game Chrominace, reducing the loss of qualities of signal relative to RCA. Unfortunately, the chrominance is modulated to stay in composite mode depending on the type of TV standard used (PAL, SECAM or NTSC). The type of coding is usually directly configurable in the driver the video card.

To connect a computer to a TV (usually to play DVDs), both methods work, or using an RCA connector (with a loss of quality, however) or an S-VIDEO as below. In the first case, it is possible directly use a SCART adapter. Solution S-Video through a SCART cable with a small adapter, even if the TV allows, cable directly to the graphics card to the TV (possibly Projector, Camcorders, ...).

The audio is not conveyed by a cable SVIDEO for the connection you must use a mini-jack from the map sound to be input via a SCART cable, or directly on TV-video equipment. The HDTV uses the 7 or 9 pin connector.

There are three types on cards graphic PC on the number of pin:

Four Pines, only output. Used on the majority low-end screens today.		1: mass chrom. 2: Output chromite 3: output luminance 4: mass lum.
September pins, compatible with the four connector. Three         signals are added, they take the signals YPbPr (Y: lumlinosité - Pb, difference between the blue component and brightness - PR  difference between red and brightness), possibly  Composite mode RGB (Red-Green-Blue).		This is the default connector for video equipment, TV, video projectors. Attention, two types of signals can get out of this connector, which can make your incompatible equipment.
Video In Video Out (VIVO) nine-pin. It allows the video output, but also to the acquisition PC. Originally used by ATI, NVidia also implanted in the high-end models.		It is not pin-compatible with both other types. Certainties graphics cards use the function WITHOUT video capture.

Other connector on graphics card, DVI digital used for the screens.
