REC.2100-PQ to YUV(EBU) Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

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.
