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

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.

REC.2100-HLG color space introduction

Also known as the REC.2100-HLG 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 HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) is an HDR standard developed by the BBC and NHK, designed for broadcast television. It supports a wide range of brightness levels for more realistic and dynamic imaging.
Rec. 2100 HLG color space.
In the Rec. 2100 HLG color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, adapting to different brightness levels of HDR displays.
Rec. 2100 HLG is primarily used in broadcast television supporting HDR, and it is backward compatible with standard dynamic range (SDR) displays.
The backward compatibility of Rec. 2100 HLG allows the same content to be displayed on both HDR and SDR displays without needing different versions.
