| Has anyone got a link or made their own S-video cable? |

It's not hard, in fact I found out you can use a PS/2 extender cord for the same purpose. It's just one of those things, I guess. For some reason, I feel the need to look at "THAT" page again. |

Forgot to add. The wires inside these network cables come in coloured twisted pairs (hence the name). This is part of the secret, as running a ground very close in paralell with a signal line improves by a hefty amount the signal integrity at high frequencies, allowing much higher bandwidth transmission. The classic color scheme is orange, green, blue and brown wires twisted to white/stripe coloured counterparts. For example, the wiring could be done like this: Solid orange: Composite video Striped orange: Ground Solid green: S-video chroma Striped green: Ground Solid blue: Ground/unused Striped blue: Ground/unused Solid brown: S-video luma Striped brown: Ground SHIELD: Ground If not carrying the composite signal, you can also ground both those wires too. Or just leave unused pairs unconnected, available for future use(s). A twisted wire ground per signal wire plus shield. Hope this helps. Cheers |
