THE DEFINITION OF S: 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.

THE INGREDIENTS: S-1 uses a 2.5% Silver Center Conductor (2.5% SPC) insulated with Hard Cell Foam

(HCF). Normal 1.25% silver-plate greatly improves high frequency performance for a fraction of the cost of

solid silver. A 2.5% silver conductor is much closer to all silver, still for a fraction of the cost. Nitrogen

Injected HCF reduces distortion caused by the insulating material. The combination foil and Silver-Plated

braid shield provides 100% protection coverage and lower distortion. Gold-Plated connectors are

professionally attached with superior AudioQuest solder.
