S-Video
Separated video signal
S-Video is a video signal format that separates brightness and color information into distinct channels, producing clearer images than composite video but less sharp than component video.
The S stands for "separated." S-Video cables have a distinctive round connector with multiple pins: The old TV has S-Video inputs but no HDMI.
