CMYK to YDbDr Converter - Color Space Converter

CMYK color space introduction

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

YDbDr color space introduction

Also known as the YDbDr color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 1.Db,range from -1.333 to 1.333.Dr,range from -1.333 to 1.333.
Origin: The YDbDr color space was designed for the European SECAM color television system for color encoding in analog television broadcasting.
Primary Names: YDbDr color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Db' and 'Dr' respectively represent the blue and red difference components.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YDbDr(0.5, -0.1, 0.9) represents a color with specific luminance and chromaticity differences.
Usage Scope: Primarily used in SECAM standard color television broadcasting, which is a color video standard specific to certain countries and regions.
Additionally, compared to PAL and NTSC, SECAM uses frequency division multiplexing to separate the chrominance components, reducing cross-color interference during color image transmission.
