RGB(sRGB) to xvYCC Converter - Color Space Converter

RGB(sRGB) color space introduction

Also known as the RGB(sRGB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, red,commonly referred to as r,range from 0 to 255.green,commonly referred to as g,range from 0 to 255.blue,commonly referred to as b,range from 0 to 255.
Source: sRGB was jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard in 1996. Its purpose is to serve as a standard RGB color space, ensuring consistent color display across different devices and platforms.
Primary name is sRGB, also called Standard RGB, full name is Standard Red Green Blue.
Usage: sRGB is the most commonly used color space in everyday computer monitors, TVs, cameras, printers, etc. It is also the default color space for images, videos, and web pages on the internet.
Additionally, it's worth noting that sRGB has a specific gamma value (around 2.2), which results in a non-linear relationship between low and high brightness levels. This non-linearity is beneficial for human visual perception as it provides more color details in darker areas.

xvYCC color space introduction

Also known as the xvYCC color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 255.Cb,range from 0 to 255.Cr,range from 0 to 255.
xvYCC was developed by Sony and standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005. It is an expansion over the standard YCbCr color space, designed to support a wider range of colors for high-definition video.
The main name is xvYCC, also known as IEC 61966-2-4 or extended-gamut YCC.
Similar to YCbCr, xvYCC is typically expressed as three component values (Y, Cb, Cr). However, xvYCC uses a signaling method that enables it to represent a broader range of colors. This includes values for Cb and Cr that, unlike YCbCr, can exceed the nominal range of video levels, going below 16 or above 235 in 8-bit terms.
xvYCC is used primarily in high-definition video formats and devices such as Blu-ray players, digital cameras, and HDTVs that support HDMI 1.3 or higher. It allows for more vivid and accurate color representation on capable devices.
xvYCC can display a wider range of color values than sRGB by allowing values that fall outside the typical RGB gamut. It achieves this by using the same color encoding method as YCbCr but permits values in the signaling that exceed the range of the BT.601 or BT.709 color spaces.
