REC.2100-PQ to YCbCr(YCC) Converter - Color Space Converter

REC.2100-PQ color space introduction

Also known as the REC.2100-PQ 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 PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) is one of the HDR standards developed under ITU-R BT.2100, designed to accurately represent a wide range of brightness levels from deep blacks to intense highlights, far exceeding what standard dynamic range (SDR) can offer.
Rec. 2100 PQ color space.
In the Rec. 2100 PQ color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, designed based on the human visual system to ensure that each increment in brightness is perceived uniformly.
Rec. 2100 PQ is primarily used in HDR video production and playback that require a wide range of brightness representation.
Rec. 2100 PQ is widely used in professional video production and high-end television playback due to its precision in representing HDR content and uniform perceptual brightness increments.

YCbCr(YCC) color space introduction

Also known as the YCbCr(YCC) color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 16 to 235.Cb,range from 16 to 240.Cr,range from 16 to 240.
The YCbCr color space was specifically designed for digital television and video compression standards like MPEG and JPEG, aiming to minimize data size while maintaining high-quality imagery during the compression process.
The primary name is YCbCr. It is often confused with YUV, although they are technically different.
The YCbCr color space is typically used in a digital format, expressed as a combination of three component values, like (Y, Cb, Cr). For 8-bit video signals, these components typically range from 16 to 235 for Y, and 16 to 240 for Cb and Cr.
YCbCr is predominantly used in digital video capture, processing, storage, and transmission. It forms the core color space for television broadcasting, DVD videos, and image compression standards such as JPEG.
In the YCbCr color space, Y represents the luminance component, while Cb and Cr represent the chrominance components of blue and red, separated from the Y component, allowing chroma subsampling to reduce data amount. As the human eye is more sensitive to luminance than to chrominance, this separation usually doesn't affect the viewing experience.
