What is resolution of ntsc and s-video?

NTSC (National Television System Committee) is an analog television system that was developed in the United States in the 1950s. It is still used in many parts of the world today, although it is being gradually replaced by digital television systems.

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).
