Advice for splitting an S-Video signal? Anonymous 09/02/25(Tue)17:32:56 No.11997419 Archived

Hey, I’m trying to figure out a way to send my S-Video signal from my CRT to both my RetroTINK 5X and my Elgato HD60S for recording purposes.

Equipment:

Sony Trinitron (SCART input)

RetroTINK 5X

Elgato HD60S

I’ve got S-Video cables for all my consoles, but S-Video splitters seem impossible to find in the UK. What’s the best way to make this work?

Thanks!

What a disgusting amount of overpriced equipment.

Cut open the cable and splice into each wire. Signal quality may be effected negatively but them's the breaks.

Buy 2 s-video to luma/chroma(Y/C) RCA adapters and 2 powered RCA composite splitters. Feed Y and C into a powered splitter each then use an adapter on the output end to change back to an Y/C DIN connector.

Y/C is s-video just on a DIN connector but some stuff used it on RCA connectors like composite uses.

It's not called a "splitter," because that will just cut the luminosity of your image in half. What you are looking for is called a distribution amplifier.
