AudioQuest S-VHS Video Cable Accessories - 1M - 20M - S-X
CinemaQuest “S” video cables include two identical maximum performance coaxial cables, one for the “Y” (black and white) signal and one for the “C” (color information) signal. In single-channel “composite” video, the Y and C signals are combined to run on a single cable. Using S-video avoids the degradation caused by the process of combining and separating the Y and C signals. When available, three-channel Component video (CQ YIQ cables) is better because the Pb and Pr color information is not combined into a single C signal.

AudioQuest: Invest in the best
Don't be fooled by the hype about specially-designed S-Video video cable—either it's a proper video cable or it isn't. And since AudioQuest has perfected audio/video cable technology, trust that they know what "proper" is. You may ask what makes AudioQuest cables that much more superior? Well, let me tell you. These cables are babied. They're coddled. Each cable's hand is held from its conception in Bill Low's head until it is carefully swaddled in product packaging and shipped off to your home.
Superior shielding for superior signal transmission
AudioQuest's mission is to provide a cable for every audio/video need as well as a price for every pocketbook, without sacrificing one iota of performance quality. The SX takes performance up—and distortion down—a few notches with an aluminum and silver-plated shield and larger conductor gauge. The conductor is wrapped in Foam PE insulation to minimize information smearing. And the gold-plated 4-pin, mini-DIN S-Video connectors are professionally attached with superior AudioQuest solder. At the heart of things, the SX utilizes a solid silver-plated copper conductor (1.25-percent silver). What's the difference between silver-plated copper and pure copper? Well, let's take a step back and explain that pure silver is the very best performing material for audio, video or digital, but it's very expensive. So the engineers came up with a more cost-effective solution—silver-plated copper. Don't make assumptions though: high-quality silver-plated copper, when used in video, RF or digital applications, becomes an extraordinary value, allowing for much higher performance even in small quantities.
Keep your signals clean
CinemaQuest "S" video cables include two identical maximum performance coaxial cables, one for the "Y" (black and white) signal and one for the "C" (color information) signal. In single-channel composite video, the Y and C signals are combined to run on a single cable. Using double-channel S-Video avoids the degradation caused by the process of combining and separating the Y and C signals.
Damage control—let's compare apples. . .
It's important to know that an audio or video signal cannot be improved upon—it's as good as it's going to get once it leaves your amp, DVD player, whatever component you're running. So why bother with a high-end cable? Simple: the signal can't be improved, but it can be damaged. Significantly. A lesser-quality cable leaves your signal wide-open to instabilities. A lesser-quality cable is constructed of bundled, twisted strands of conductive material—up to 200 to 2000 strands per bundle. And as the signal wants to travel the path of least resistance (down the outside of the bundle), all those twisted strands inhibit the signal. They draw the signal from the outside of the bundle to the inside, where it fights to get back to the outside again. What's the result? Distortion. Lost data. Poor sound quality.
. . .to oranges
AudioQuest, on the other hand, engineers their cables with the highest quality, perfectly gauged solid-core, copper and silver conductors. And each conductor strand is slowly and precisely loomed, not twisted, into the final cable bundle—and it's important to note that the maximum amount of strands AudioQuest has used in their longest cable, for flexibility requirements, is 32 (that's a few less than 200, and a lot less than 2000). Once they have constructed the conductor, AudioQuest wraps it in the dielectric (a fancy word for the insulating material) to keep the cable at peak performance levels at all times by absorbing as little energy as possible in order to avoid the reintroduction of energy (distortion) back into the conductor.
The bottom line
What AudioQuest is doing is engineering cables with conductors that have all the proper attributes, for decreased distortion. They've arranged the conductors so the signal travels down a straight path, for decreased distortion. They've wrapped the conductor metal in a non-conductive material, to decrease distortion. The result is an astonishingly pure, very stable signal. Starting to make sense? AudioQuest loathes distortion. You'll love AudioQuest.
