YUV(EBU) to REC.2100-HLG Converter - Color Space Converter

YUV(EBU) color space introduction

Also known as the YUV(EBU) color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.U,range from -0.5 to 0.5.V,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YUV color space was designed for analog video signal transmission, separating luminance information (Y) from chrominance information (U and V) to improve the efficiency of color transmission and ensure compatibility with black and white television.
Primary Names: YUV color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, and 'U' and 'V' represent the chrominance components, describing the difference in color from a reference white.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YUV(0.5, -0.33, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chrominance.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in analog video transmission and compression. In modern applications, YUV is common in digital video encoding and broadcasting, video editing software, and image processing.
Additionally, the YUV format is very effective in color processing to reduce bandwidth requirements because it allows the resolution of chrominance components to be reduced during transmission rather than luminance components, taking advantage of the human eye's greater sensitivity to luminance over chrominance changes.

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.
