Important notes

• On circuit diagrams, plugs are displayed as viewed from the back side, the solder side. Chips are displayed as viewed from above; also, see the small semicircular cut for finding the correct orientation. When in doubt, see the corresponding description on the legend page.

Construction

You need the following parts to build this cable:

• One solderable male S-Video plug

• Two solderable female RCA ports, preferably, in red and black colors

• Two shielded 1-wire cables of about 20 centimeters each; the impendance should be 75 Ohm but an audio cable should also work

Step 1. Solder one end of each cable onto the S-Video plug.

Step 2. Solder the other ends of the cables onto the tips and the outer rings of each of the two RCA ports. You should have the following connections:

 S-Video plug  
   RCA port    

 1, Chroma GND 
  Red, ring    

 2, Chrominance
   Red, tip    

 3, Luminance  
  Black, tip   

 4, Luma GND   
 Black, ring
