Does S-video work with digital TVs?

S-video is a two wire interface that supports standard definition video only. Although HD equipment may have an S-video connector as an input or an output, the connection will only handle SD. Often, HD receivers or Bluray players will have a composite or S-video output to allow a standard definition output to be used on older equipment. Domestic HD is almost always connected via HDMI and is the only common standard for HD in the home. No other interface is normally available for the simple reason that HDMI can be protected to prevent high definition copies of material being made. If a copy of a program is to be made, about the only method is to use one of the standard definition outputs such as S-video.
