Commodore used a somewhat odd system on some of their
machines. A
composite mono video signal carrying the sync and luminance information
and a separate chrominance signal carrying the colour information (which
was encoded much like the chrominance part of a TV signal).
What was odd about this? I thought this was conventional S-video.
OK, yes it is, but it's odd in the sense that Commodore were (AFAIK) the
only computer manufacturer to use it.
And that makes Commodore monitors even more useful as S-video displays :-)
