Y Luminance signal
Y/C Y consists of luminance signal,
blanking level and sync; C consists of
chroma (colour) signal
YPbPr This is a scaled version of the YUV
colour space. Y= Luminance, Pb/Pr=
Colour difference signals B-Y and R-Y,
other amplitudes w.r.t. to YUV
YUV Colour space used by the NTSC and
PAL video systems. Y is the luminance
and U/V are the colour difference
signals
