Luminance (Y) and chrominance (C); type of video signal transmission format that separates the color portion of the signal (chrominance) from the brightness portion of the signal (luminance) resulting in higher picture quality compared to composite video, which combines the two into a single signal. A Y/C connection is often known as a S-Video connection. These cables carry the brightness and color information on two separate wires. 1, record 2, English, - Y%2FC%20connector
