ICTCP to YIQ Converter - Color Space Converter

ICTCP color space introduction

Also known as the ICTCP color space.There are 3 channels in total, I,range from 0 to 1.CT,range from -0.5 to 0.5.CP,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
The ICtCp color representation model was developed for high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG) media, representing I (Intensity), Ct (Chroma of red-green), and Cp (Chroma of blue-yellow).
ICtCp color space.
In the ICtCp color space, colors are represented through Intensity (I), Chroma of red-green (Ct), and Chroma of blue-yellow (Cp).
ICtCp is primarily used for HDR and WCG video formats, intended to replace the YCbCr color space, offering better color difference encoding and improved efficiency for these advanced video applications.
The ICtCp color space is particularly suitable for handling HDR and WCG video content, providing a color representation that aligns more closely with human visual perception.

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.
