RE: Re: Recommendations for a graphics card with RGB or s-video out?

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

VHS (and S-VHS) is a term used to describe a video tape recording
system not
a type of video signal.

The signal output by an S-VHS recorder is not S-VHS but "S-Video"
or more
correctly "Y/C" video in which the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance
(C) signals
are separate giving better resolution than a Composite Video signal.

The acronym "VHS" being defined as "Video Home System"
is actually a
modification of its original meaning which was "Vertical Helical
Scan" which
describes how the tape travels across the recording heads.

DVD is another acronym that had its definition changed from Digital Video
Disc to Digital Versatile Disc.
