    Default Converting S-Video to Composite: Beginner schematic question

    Code:
    Y-ground------------------+
                              +---------- RCA/composite ground
    C-ground------------------+
    
    Y-------------------------+
                              +--------- RCA/composite video
    C------------||-----------+
                470pF
    
    Does it even matter if the capacitor is on Y (luminance) or C (crominance)? Heck, couldn't I just put the capacitor leads directly on the Y and C leads?

    Yes it matters, the chroma is only high frequency (4.43361875MHz for PAL), but the luma goes down to very low frequencies.
