Scalable Video Switch Composite/S-Video-INPUT Module
The SVS Composite/S-Video Input Module adds a classic Composite or S-Video input to your Scalable Video Switch (SVS) – ideal for older consoles that don't offer Component or SCART output.
- Accepts Composite Video (RCA jack) and S-Video (MiniDIN-4)
- Compatible with NTSC and PAL signals
- Supports resolutions up to 480i
- Optional Toslink digital audio module compatible
- Seamlessly integrates into the modular SVS system
SVS Composite/S-Video Input Module – Classic Signals, Cleanly Integrated
Want to hook up your NES, SNES, Mega Drive, or other early-generation console through the Scalable Video Switch (SVS)? This module is exactly what you need. The Composite/S-Video Input Module accepts classic analog video signals and integrates them seamlessly into your modular SVS setup – including automatic switching via sync detection.
Signal Formats & Connectors
This module accepts two of the most widely used analog video formats from older consoles:
- Composite Video via a standard RCA jack
- S-Video (Y/C) via a MiniDIN-4 connector
- Compatible with NTSC and PAL signals
- Supports resolutions up to 480i
Prime candidates for this module include older NES or Atari consoles via Composite, or an SNES or N64 via S-Video – the N64 in particular benefits greatly from S-Video over Composite.
Optional Toslink Digital Audio
With the separately available Toslink Input Module, you can add optical digital audio support to this input – ideal if you prefer a clean, separate digital audio path.
Built-in Low-Pass Filter
Like all SVS input modules, this one features a switchable 9.5 MHz low-pass filter (via a slide switch on the front of the module). For 240p/480i sources with poor shielding or noise on the video lines, this can noticeably improve image quality. For 480p or higher sources, the filter is not recommended and should remain disabled.
Part of the SVS Ecosystem
The Composite/S-Video Input Module is an expansion module for the Scalable Video Switch by Arthrimus – a fully modular, customizable, and user-upgradeable analog video switcher. The SVS supports up to 32 input modules and 6 output modules in any combination of SCART, Component, VGA, and Composite/S-Video. Auto-switching is handled via sync signal detection: power on your console – done.
- Compatible with RetroTINK 4K (automatic profile loading via serial connection)
- IR blaster support for RetroTINK 5X, OSSC, OSSC Pro
- Mix and match freely with other input modules (SCART, Component, VGA)
Note: This is an expansion module and requires the SVS Control Module as a foundation.
