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-X uses a large 24 awg Silver-Plated center conductor insulated with Hard Cell

Foam (HCF). Silver-Plating greatly improves high frequency performance for a fraction of the cost of solid

silver. Nitrogen Injected HCF reduces distortion caused by the insulating material, and helps maintain a

stable 75Ω. 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.
