.... as the warning on http://www.svideo.com/svideosplitter.html said, results not guaranteed.Being busy at the moment (busy when retired? Yes, it happens) and also being a bit lazy I ordered that Y cable. Service was excellent and the unit arrived in Australia in a few days.
First attemt at plugging it in broke off one of the pins - bahhhh. So I did not avoid some fiddly soldering after all :-(
Anyway the results on one connection were not successful with a broad band of slightly different contrasting intensity spoiling the picture.
I have yet to try it in a number of different situations but guess the results are very dependent on what is the nature of the inputs are being parallel connected and whether or not they have some buffering in place.

Hi John - I'm not sure why you would want to split an s-video signal but I wouldn't recommend it, s-video is an extremely fragile signal and very sensitive to jitter and internal cable reflections.I've tried several s-video cables in the past few months and the Nordost Optix is the best by far. I prefer the half meter length but the one meter also works well. If you must run more than one meter I recommend the Camelot powered version which can drive up to six meters without significant signal loss.
My previous benchmarks in s-video cables was the Monster M-1000v and M-1000HDVS (the model with digital artifact reduction) and the Nordost cable beats them handily.
I looked for months for an s-video Y-cable in the US with no luck. I was told they don't work very well. Appearently the signal strength gets halved. I put one together myself which worked for my purposes. My cable run was very short - under 10 feet.There are s-video spliters with active electronics that are purported to work well, but the prices I've seen start at US$100.
