S-Video         
<multimedia> A video format offering a higher quality signal than composite video, but a lower quality than {component video}. This mid-level format divides the signal into two channels - luminance and chrominance. [Used where and for what?] (1998-06-25)
S-video         
¦ noun a method of transmitting high-quality television signals from a video recorder, video camera, etc. by sending the signals for chrominance and luminance separately.

Wikipedia

S-Video

S-Video (also known as separate video, Y/C, and erroneously Super-Video) is an analog video signal format that carries standard-definition video, typically at 525 lines or 625 lines. It encodes video luma and chrominance on two separate channels, achieving higher image quality than composite video which encodes all video information on one channel. It also eliminates several types of visual defects such as dot crawl which commonly occur with composite video. Although it improved over composite video, S-Video has lower color resolution than component video, which is encoded over three channels.

The Atari 800 was the first to introduce separate Chroma/Luma output in late 1979. However, S-Video did not get widely adopted until JVC's introduction of the S-VHS (Super-VHS) format in 1987, which is why it is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Super-Video." Before the shift towards digital video the S-video format was widely used by consumers, but it was rarely used in professional studios where YPbPr or component was generally preferred.

Examples of use of S-video
1. If you want to do that, make sure you have an S–Video exit with a designated cable that attaches to the television.
2. In retrospect, I think the HV30‘s video quality deserves a better rating than we gave the HV20 at the time.
3. The rear panel does have two HDMI inputs, one component video input, one AV input with a choice of either composite or S–Video, and one RF input.
4. There are also two legacy standard–definition video outputs, S–Video and composite video, but you should stick with the high–definition connections to take advantage of Blu–ray.
5. Two component–video jacks, a VGA–style PC input (1'20x1080 maximum resolution), an AV input with S–Video and composite video, another with only composite video, an RF–style antenna/cable input, an analog audio output and an optical digital audio output complete the back–panel jack pack, while another AV input with composite video joins the HDMI port on the side panel.
