sharper image than composite video and S-

transmitted via three separate channels.

S-Video (AV) - Combining the three video
signals into two channels, S-Video provides a
sharper image than Composite video, but is not
as good as Component video.
Composite (AV) - All three video signals are
combined into one channel, thus making the
image less sharp than Component or S-Video.
