to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital

monitors.

RGB signals

these signals improves picture quality.

S-VHS signals

Super-VHS signals

These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.

The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (color) are

recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard

video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video

signal.
