If at all possible, use the s-video source to your monitors over composite.
Their is a big difference in detail. Their is also a big difference in
quality encoders/decoders for composite video to/from s-video.
Reminiscing ......
Back in the late 70's I worked for a sales/service department involved in
Industrial Video Production. One of my projects was sending video from one
vcr to another during A/B editing and dubbing. The first thing I did was
bypass the y/c encoder in the players, buffer the signals, send them out to
the recorder, then bypass the y/c decoder. This allowed the edited video to
achieve 7 mhz in Y signal bandwidth, and maintain C channel quality. Not
possible with composite video. Over the process of video production, this
gave our systems at least a one-generation quality jump in distributed video
quality. (The good old days of analogue signals. Crying in my beer. )
We had been doing this for about three years when Panasonic (Matshustia ?)
engineers showed up and looked over what we were doing to their equipment.
Then all of a sudden s-video came out. We were adapting portable vcr's to
camera heads making the first camcorders using y/c paths, throwing frame
store special effects generators in with switchers with y/c patching. It
was quite some fun until Panasonic adopted it in their industrial line of
equipment. Fun times.
