Whoa, that Nova 42 headphone is a dead ringer for Sony’s MDR-44 headphone…

I have 1 of those! I need it for one of my video capture cards which only has S-video input. Interesting the card can “sense” the adapter and if your using it you see nothing on the “S-video” input(you have to switch to the “composite”) input. My ATI Radon 7000(Mac edtion) also only has S-video(this time as an output). I believe it can also “sense” if the adapter is in use. I never relized those where “generic” though, I got mine unboxed and always thought they where a PC thing.(kind of as you said, why else would you need one).

I had one of those back in the early 2000’s. Had a camcorder that only had a S-video input, and a VCR that only had a composite output. I would run video from the VCR, convert it to digital, then run that to my Mac. Those adaptors cost $26.00 back then. Expensive little booger.

This was like a double Teletubbies episode… “Again!!!”

I remember finding one of these new in the package several years ago at a local habitat for Humanity reuse store in a big tote full for various cables in their packages that came from a closed down Radio Shack that was right down the street, so I snatched it up for $.20, along with $.50 and $1 HDMI cables(back when HDMI 1.1 cables where sometimes still $20+ for the BS ‘Oxygen Free” ones), component cables, etc… but I have yet to find a use for this converter lol!

I miss several things from the 20th century, multiple video adapters is not of them.

I would have actually used it to “upgrade” composite stuff, so I only have one row of inputs and outputs on my AV receiver, and more importantly, only one cable to my projector.
I always had to switch the projector input to/from S-Video when I was switching from one input to another and the signaling method would change.
Nowadays it’s obviously all HDMI, and if I had any composite or S-Video sources, the AV receiver would upscale it anyway.

Next: Convert to RF.

14:12 Indeed, it was certainly handy for me to pop down to Tandy to buy adapters and cables during a video project than waiting for delivery. That store closed in 1992 🙁

Ofcourse it can i used to make my own back when video cards had svideo outs so i could hook up to crt tvs to watch downloaded movies in early 2000s
Technically you should use some resistors but just tying the signals together still does the job

Some laptops and video cards had svideo output. To connect to a composite only tv an adaptor was required.

Man, some idiot has marked the segment starting from 4:55 with the instruction video as sponsored content on SponsorBlock.

Stills are one thing, but the motion comparison says more. The speaker’s hair colour and shirt colour look better in Composite only than in S-Video–Composite or Composite–S-Video. The converted form is watchable, but blurrier.

Good old Radio Shack…😊

Yes! It’s unfortunate that we NO longer have access to a plethora of adapters, etc. I, for, one, have an entire box of wires and adapters from RShack, some of which I still use!

I was hoping you would open it up and show us what’s inside but (spoiler alert) it’s probably just two resistors for impedance matching. It converts Y and C to CVBS by mixing the signals together; that’s it. I think one of the two Y-C signals were at a different level (half of the other one?).
And it doesn’t “convert” from composite to Y/C; it just sends the composite to both pins. So maybe it has a couple of capacitors or inductors instead of (or in addition to) the resistors?
Anyway, when I worked at RadioJac — sorry RadioShack, I would have told customers that it wasn’t going to do much good.

My experience of S-vid to Composite adaptors or cables has been monochromatic, sure it was a clear enough picture, but it was entirely black & white, maybe it was something with the equipment used, or I did something wrong, but I’ve never had them work right… :

This is one of those not really ideal, but “lots better than nothing” solutions that analog signals allow.

Since Radio Shack’s brick-and-mortar demise in most parts of the US, I have turned to 99-cent stores for some of my adaptor and parts needs. Trisonic is a quick fix if the store has the items in stock. When I purchased my first HDMI television and DVD player, I needed a spare HDMI cable and Trisonic sells their cable for $6.99. I couldn’t tell the difference. But I never took the time to do a detailed analysis of the image between Trisonic and Pioneer.

Why? Covered. How? Tear down? 🙂
