It -separates the brightness information (Y) from the color information (U -and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of red and blue -*color difference* signals, this way the green component can be -reconstructed by subtracting from the brightness component. See -:ref:`colorspaces` for conversion examples. YUV was chosen because -early television would only transmit brightness information. To add -color in a way compatible with existing receivers a new signal carrier -was added to transmit the color difference signals. Secondary in the YUV -format the U and V components usually have lower resolution than the Y -component. This is an analog video compression technique taking -advantage of a property of the human visual system, being more sensitive -to brightness information. - - -.. toctree:: - :maxdepth: 1 - - pixfmt-packed-yuv - pixfmt-grey - pixfmt-y10 - pixfmt-y12 - pixfmt-y10b - pixfmt-y16 - pixfmt-y16-be - pixfmt-y8i - pixfmt-y12i - pixfmt-uv8 - pixfmt-yuyv - pixfmt-uyvy - pixfmt-yvyu - pixfmt-vyuy - pixfmt-y41p - pixfmt-yuv420 - pixfmt-yuv420m - pixfmt-yuv422m - pixfmt-yuv444m - pixfmt-yuv410 - pixfmt-yuv422p - pixfmt-yuv411p - pixfmt-nv12 - pixfmt-nv12m - pixfmt-nv12mt - pixfmt-nv16 - pixfmt-nv16m - pixfmt-nv24 - pixfmt-m420 |
