Having problems connecting standard video to your S-VHS equipment? You need this neat circuit. It takes a composite video signal and converts it into the C/Y input signals used by S-VHS. To simplify construction a PCB design is supplied.A standard video signal (also known as Composite Video Baseband Signal or CVBS) contains the black/white and picture synchronisation information together with the colour information in one signal. S-video signals (also known as Y/C) are slightly different in that these two parts of the picture signal are supplied as separate signals. Y is the luminance signal containing both black/white and sync information while C is the chrominance signal containing colour information.Equipment using Y/C signals has the advantage of better picture resolution (greater bandwidth), less cross-colour interference and fewer filters for the signals to squeeze through.
