    I am very confused!
    I allways thought that RCA type compoite video connectors had a max resolution of aound 250 lines and S-Video of 400
    I have recently heard that a 75 Ohm BNC coax connector can resolve >525 lines when the image is black and white!
    Someone please explain this!
    Are Composite video 75 Ohm BNC coax connectors that much better or is this a result of no color coding in a B& W image?
    Thanks

    The cables have (almost) nothing to do with how many lines.
    All the cables are coax.
    Svideo is better because it separates luminance and color, not
    because of the cable.
    BNC is generally a better connector than RCA.

    If you had hardware that could do 1000 lines it would transfer
    over an RCA cable just fine.

    Note that Cable TV cable is just low rent coax and it carries hundreds of entire channels.

    If you had to choose, go with S-Video.
