YUV(EBU) to xvYCC Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

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.
