OSA-UCS to xvYCC Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the OSA-UCS color space.There are 3 channels in total, L,range from -10 to 8.j,range from -6 to 12.g,range from -10 to 6.

The OSA-UCS color space was developed by the Optical Society of America in the 1970s with the goal of creating a color space that provided a more uniform appearance than the CIE 1931 XYZ color space.

The OSA-UCS color space, also known as the Optical Society of America Uniform Color Scale.

Colors in the OSA-UCS color space are represented by three parameters: lightness (L), hue (J), and chroma (g).

OSA-UCS is used in the field of visual sciences for the research and precise measurement of color differences due to its uniformity.

The application of the OSA-UCS color space is relatively limited in the commercial sector, primarily because it is more complex to calculate and not as widely used as the CIELAB color space.

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.
