s-video

[Pedro_The_Swift]

I want to use my PC for playing the divids but watch them on the TV,,
is there a problem using an S-video cable 10metre long? (do they make them that long?)

The vid card actually has HDTV but telly too old :(

Have a look at this Maximum Cable Length CML-Cinematography Mailing List (http://www.cinematography.net/MaximumCableLength.htm)
they seem to hint at 18 M being the max not sure

I dont know about s-video, but i record from my tv to my hard drive via a 10m cable with rca connections with no obvious loss in quality

And i use a 10m RCA cable from my AV amp to the tv in the family room with no loss of quality.

I use a 10m S-video cable to plug my laptop into my TV (on other side of room) without problems.

Took me a little bit of shopping around to verify it was an ok length and then to find one, but 10m for s-video is fine..

I use an el'cheapo 10m S-video lead from DS, works fine.

I have used:
cat5 cable with RCA connectors 20m+
svideo around 8-10m
d-sub 15pin (pc video connection) well over 20m

all with little to no visible loss in quality.
What will loose quality quickly is if you use a Y cable to split you rsignal to more than one secondary output. eg monitor & 1 disply screen is ok
