What is the S-video and PS/2 port?

S-video (short for Super-video) is an older type of video signal that’s transmitted in varying electrical signals over wires to represent the original video. Newer video cables like HDMI transmit digital video signals in the form of numbers representing the original video signal. The benefit of digital video is that the signal doesn’t degrade from source to destination. It’s also capable of transmitting much higher resolution video.

S-video is an improvement over composite video, which carries all the video data (including both brightness and color information) in one signal over one wire. S-video carries brightness and color information as two separate signals, over two wires. Because of this separation, video transferred by S-video is higher quality than that of composite video.

The S-video cable transmits video through two synchronized signal and ground pairs, named Y and C. S-Video (4-pin)

PS/2 port

The PS/2 (Personal System/2) port, also referred to as the mouse port or keyboard port, was developed by IBM. It is used to connect a computer mouse or keyboard to an IBM compatible computer. The PS/2 port is a mini DIN plug that contains six pins and is still sometimes found on all IBM compatible computers.
