Question

Which is better s-video or the pbpry cables?

Answer 1

Pb/Pr/Y (component) is better than S-video (which is, in turn, better than composite, which is in turn better than the RF connection).

(correction to another answerer: S-video carries two analog signals, Y and C, on its four pins - not one digital signal)

Answer 2

P-b, P-r, Y  is called component video (The Blue, Red, Green cables in that order) Component video is capable of handling up to 1080 lines of resolution progressively although most devices only send an interlaced signal through them. S-Video is capable of handling about 520 lines of resolution interlaced. So Component video is better than S-Video.

Both are analog but S-video bypasses the TV comb filter (which separates the B&W,or Y, information from the Color, or C) because the Y and C are already carried separately. Component bypasses the comb filter as well but also bypasses the NTSC tuner.

Answer 3

Better is Component Video 3 cable Red Blue And Green

Next Is S-Video One Cable

Then Coaxial, which is one single yellow rca cable

unless you have HD then hdmi is best to go with

Answer 4

PbPrY. It provides 3 inputs, while S-video is 2 analog ones. (Thanks for correcting)

Answer 5

Pb Pr Y cables are better they give you the best resolution, but S-Video is better than regular component video
