S-Video signals are generally of higher quality than analog composite video signals. Composite video signals combine the black and white (monochrome) signals together with color information on a single coaxial cable. S-Video signals, however, use two signal wires to keep the luminance (black and white) and chrominance (color information) signals separated.

Quadra uses the standard 4-pin mini-DIN connector allowing the use of standard, commercially available cables. The pinout for the standard S-Video connector is shown in the figure below:

S-Video cables tend to have higher loss than the standard coaxial cables (that are used for composite video). Therefore, for best results, cable lengths should be kept to a minimum. S-Video cables are available commercially.
