- Why???
-
- I've never heard of anything that had *only* Y/C (S-video) inputs. A composite
- video input is always present as well. There is no advantage in doing the Y/C
- separation in a seperate box. (Unless you want to manipulate the Y and C
- signals separately...)
-
- However, if you really want this, you can get it in any of several a/v
- switching boxes. I have an NEC unit that provides Y/C out from comp. input;
- unfortunately NEC has gotten out of the consumer video market in the u.s.
- JVC has a current model that will do this.
