S-VIDEO - Max Length ??

[Confucius]

Does any one know what the maximum length of an S-video is?? (PC to TV)

I'm sure that its more than the 25' cable I'm using (it has no visible signal loss over my 6' cable)

I've seen them in 100-foot lengths. Would that be accepatable?

 

[R2D2]

The S-Video spec is 8 feet.

R2D2 is correct, the spec is 8'. I've built 40 foot cables using Moster brand cabling and Radio Shack gold plated heads, they worked fine. On the other hand, we also sell a 50' cable that's very thin and looks like crap for TV, but hen used with a color CTTV setup it looks fine.

Monster Cable claims up to 300ft are possbile with some of theirs.

Was wondering this same thing. What's the cheap way to do this?
