YCbCr(YCC) to xvYCC Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

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.
