YCgCo to REC.2100-HLG Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

REC.2100-HLG color space introduction

Also known as the REC.2100-HLG color space.There are 3 channels in total,Red,range from 0 to 1.Green,range from 0 to 1.Blue,range from 0 to 1.
Rec. 2100 HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) is an HDR standard developed by the BBC and NHK, designed for broadcast television. It supports a wide range of brightness levels for more realistic and dynamic imaging.
Rec. 2100 HLG color space.
In the Rec. 2100 HLG color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, adapting to different brightness levels of HDR displays.
Rec. 2100 HLG is primarily used in broadcast television supporting HDR, and it is backward compatible with standard dynamic range (SDR) displays.
The backward compatibility of Rec. 2100 HLG allows the same content to be displayed on both HDR and SDR displays without needing different versions.
