NTSC has a resolution of 480i, which means that it has 480 horizontal lines of resolution and 240 vertical lines of resolution. The "i" stands for "interlaced," which means that the odd-numbered lines of the image are displayed first, followed by the even-numbered lines.
S-Video (Separate Video) is a type of analog video connection that uses two separate cables, one for luma (brightness information) and one for chroma (color information). This provides a better picture quality than composite video, which combines both luma and chroma information into a single cable.
S-Video has a resolution of 480i, just like NTSC, but it provides a sharper and more detailed image because the luma and chroma information is separated.
Here is a table that summarizes the resolution of NTSC and S-Video:
| Format | Resolution |
|---|---|
| NTSC | 480i |
| S-Video | 480i |
NTSC and S-Video are both analog television formats, and they are both being replaced by digital television formats such as ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) and DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting).
