YUV is the color space used in PAL, and is preferred for video signals. YUV and RGB can be converted back and forth.
A modified form of the component RGB video signal. The black and white (luminance) part of the signal is removed from the red and blue and added to the green. This gives greater detail to the picture, as the human eye perceives detail in green better than red or blue
Color model which describes color information in terms of luminance (Y) and two chrominance channels (U,V). The YUV space is commonly used in video, and easily supports color subsampling.
Format, which is using one signal for the brightness (Y) and two for the color (U, V). Mostly the UV resolution is lower than the Y-resolution since the human eye is more sensitive to changes of brightness than to changes of colors. To top
Describes the analog luminance and color-difference signals in component video systems. Y is for luminance; U and V are the two subcarrier modulation axes used in the PAL color-coding system.
A color model for video signals in which colors are specified according to their luminance (Y), their hue (U) and their saturation (V). These components can be derived from the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) colorspace in the following manner: Y = 30% Red + 59% Green + 11% Blue U = Red – Y V = Blue – Y This color model was designed to be backwards-compatible with black-and-white TV sets, so that two separate TV signals (one color, one monochrome) would not have to be broadcast.
The YUV model defines a color space in terms of one luminance and two chrominance components. YUV is used in the PAL system of colour encoding in analog video, which is part of television standards in much of the world.
