YIQ to YcCbcCrc Converter - Color Space Converter

YIQ color space introduction

Also known as the YIQ color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.I,range from -0.5957 to 0.5957.Q,range from -0.5226 to 0.5226.
Origin: The YIQ color space was specifically designed for the North American NTSC color television standard to accommodate compatibility between color and monochrome television broadcasts.
Primary Names: YIQ color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'I' represents the in-phase component, and 'Q' represents the quadrature component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YIQ(0.5, 0.2, 0.3) represents a color with specific luminance and chromaticity.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in the North American NTSC (National Television System Committee) color television broadcasting system. Although less used in modern digital technology, it played a significant role during the era of analog television.
Additionally, the YIQ color space allows old black and white television receivers to receive and correctly display the luminance signal from color broadcasts without interference from the color information.

YcCbcCrc color space introduction

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.
