8-pin VTR to broadcast monitor Cables

[pharries]

Anyone know how I would convert the output fromn a broadcast 8 pin monitor cable to S-video?
thanks

If memory serves, they only output composite video. Not S. And what connection does what I can't remember either.

video in
audio in
video out
audio out

Audio is unbalanced and single channel.
Audio is normally controlled by the audio monitor switch on the deck (ch1 or ch2 or mix).

If you want Y/C video, you will have to see if it has a connector labled "DUB". But you are not done there. The DUB out uses a higher band for the sub-carrier and so it will not likely work with your consumer S-video (Y/C). The DUB s/c was normally something like 4.54 Mhz or maybe 4.83 Mhz instead of the lower and standard NTSC video of 3.58 Mhz.

S-Video splits the chrominance and luminance signals at a guess, looking at the link here, http://www.alteeve.com/~lance/Hack.html I would join the Y signals to themselves and the C signals to themselves.
(assuming of course this is how you machine is wired !)
Hope this helped somewhat.

OK found it this is not compatable with component video it is single channel composite in and out, audio in and out
