Topic: Rewiring An S-video Cable Output Component (Read 66 times)

First off, this is for my gamecube. My TV's s-video input doesn't work since I accidentally fried it while modding my XBOX. I have an s-video cable for my gamecube. However, I want to (if possible) rewire the cable to output component so that I could get the improved quality of the s-video over composite (I am aware that it won't make it component video quality with progressive scan and such). Does anybody know of a guide or a diagram to make such a modification. I have lots of extra RCA connectors and I could easily get resistors if need be. Thanks.

I think you are confusing those 7 pin ATI cables (for laptops) which have BOTH S-Video and Composite on the S-VIDEO cable, with a normal S-Video hookup.

No, I'm talking about a third party s-video cable. I just want to know if there is any way to take the luminance and the color and make component cables out of them. I want to get better picture quality than the composite is giving me.

These must be recombined electronically. In effect you end up with the same thing as COMPOSITE with no benefits.

There are no third party "cables" per-se that do this.

Ah, yes, even worst.

No you can't.

The S-Video/Composite query made some sense, which was why I was fixated on it.

S-video Component doesn't though.

Okay, thanks.

STEVEHABS: WTF are you talking about!?!?!?

Please at least read the first sentence of the post: I said for my GAMECUBE. My xbox already has component cables.

And I'm trying to use the discrete luminance and chroma signals that s-video offers, but through component cables because my TV's s-video nput is fried.

STEVEHABS: What you said is not only completely wrong, but also completely stupid since you didn't read the post. Read what he said next time, and get a clue about what you're talking about.

inneedofhelp: You cannot convert S-Video to Component. If you had tried, you would not have a Blue signal. The Green and Red Component would work, however, because it uses the same wires as the Chroma and Luminance. Check out my post Here to see what I'm talking about. Look at the S-Video jack compared to the Green and Red Component jacks.

Thanks alot JaredC01. That's what I figured. Alright thanks, I'll just have to order the component cables for the gamecube unless anyone has a guide to installing the necessary ports for the Gamecube as JaredC01 made for the XBOX. Thanks again.

sorry never saw the word gamecube in the post last time but like I said if u get component cables then your good. also are u saying component doesnt have chroma and luminance?if so what is good about chroma and luminance?

one other question if part of your tv is fucked up and it was expensive why wouldnt u get it replaced???its under warranty still right?
