HEX to YcCbcCrc Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the HEX color space.

Source: Hexadecimal color codes originated from early computer graphic design, where there was a need for a concise way to represent colors. Since each RGB channel can have 256 possible values (ranging from 0 to 255), they can be represented as a two-digit hexadecimal number.

Primary name: Hexadecimal color code

It is represented using 6 hexadecimal characters, typically prefixed with '#'. For instance, red can be represented as #FF0000; the first two characters represent the red channel, the middle two represent the green channel, and the last two represent the blue channel. Occasionally, there might be 8 characters where the first two represent transparency (alpha channel), but this is not standard.

Usage: Mainly used in web design and CSS style definitions, but also in other scenarios where a quick and concise representation of color is required.

Pros: Hexadecimal color codes offer a compact representation of colors, making it very suitable for web and coding environments. Cons: To the general public, hexadecimal codes might not be as intuitive as other methods. For instance, seeing #FFA07A might not immediately suggest the color light salmon to most people.

Also known as the YcCbcCrc color space.There are 3 channels in total,Yc,range from 0 to 1.Cbc,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Crc,range from -0.5 to 0.5.

The YcCbcCrc color space is based on the traditional YCbCr color space, optimized for chrominance components of High Definition Television (HDTV) signals to accommodate video signals of different resolutions during transmission and processing.

YcCbcCrc uses a component representation method similar to YCbCr, usually including a luminance component Yc and two chrominance components Cbc and Crc. The difference lies in the scaling factors for Cbc and Crc, which are adjusted according to different HDTV standards. In 8-bit video signals, the range of values for Yc, Cbc, and Crc may vary depending on the standard.

This color space is primarily used in professional video production and editing, excelling in video compression and broadcast transmission, especially when dealing with high-definition video signals.

YcCbcCrc adapts to higher resolution video signals with different scaling and offset compared to standard YCbCr. This can improve the representation of chrominance signals, particularly during color conversion and color grading processes.
