S-Video vs. RCA??
<< < (2/3) > >>
ThePerm:
im wondering...there is no sound transmitted by s-video is there? We were lookign for an adapter that would convert rca cable to s-video for a very long time..then i thought abotu how you would nromally hook up a standard sterio and realised that it was just video and not audio...you plug in video to video and audio is completely sepearate...are my assumptions correct?
TheYoungerPlumber:
First of all, why would you want to convert RCA to S-Video, ThePerm?  Converting from a lower quality connection to a higher-quality connection will NOT make the picture any better.  In fact, it will add more noise to the signal if anything.  That being said, S-Video pertains to the video alone and replaces the yellow composite video cable.  The white and red RCA audio cables are still needed and will be on any S-video GameCube cable.  Most televisions with S-video have an S-video and composite connection assigned to the same input and therefore share the same Left and Right audio ports.
ThePerm:
my freind has a capture card and it only excepts s-video...you dont get your cable signal from s-video(we would have to use our rf modultor to convert coaxial to rca) and our camera's only have rca. This has nothing to do with gamecube really...although we could hook it up to the computer and tape stuff. Really we just want to tape home videos and add stuff to them. Like i motion a kamehameha and then i import it into flash after capturing it and then it would look all cool.

If your TV supports S-Video, GET IT! My DVD player uses it, and it KICKS ASS. It's SO DAMN SHARP!

In fact, I'll probably buy a S-Video.com S-Video switch...so I can use the DVD and Gamecube without plugging/uplugging wires.
PardonTheWait:
Is RGB scart just a PAL thing? RGB scart seperates the signal into (who'd have thought) red, green, and blue, and it's just lovely. You only ever seem to hear PAL users talk about it though. Component is much less common here though.
