DEF

A high-quality video recording format that separates the luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) portions of the signal.

CONT

Professional equipment(BetaCAM, Beta SP, D1 and MII) and some consumer equipment(S-VHS and Hi-8) have been designed to record the video components separately. Component video uses several recording methods : standard YUV(Y, R-Y, B-Y) ;RGB(red, green blue) ;and Y/C(luminance and chromiance). The highest quality component video, YUv, divides the signal into three parts : the luminance(Y) ;the red signal minus the luminance(R-Y) ;and the blue signal minus the luminance(B-Y). Using these three signals the green component can be calculated. S-video, or Y/C(used by S-VHS and Hi-8 formats), separates the video signal into two parts : luminance and chrominance.

DEF

[Technique d'enregistrement] vidéo couleur qui utilise trois composantes (Y, Cb, Cr ou RGB).

CONT

une entrée YUB sur DB15 a été ajoutée sur les projecteurs afin d'offrir une nouvelle entrée vidéo pour un signal de qualité. EPSON offre ainsi des connectiques professionnelles permettant de traiter des signaux de types RVB et YUV (Ycrcb ou autrement appelé «composante vidéo»).

OBS

Cb, Cr : signaux de différence de couleur entre la luminance et la couleur bleu (Cb) et la luminance et la couleur rouge (Cr).

DEF

Component video made from separate luminance (Y) and two colour difference (U&V) signals ...

CONT

Progressive video... : Players have been produced with progressive-scan YUV component video output in the form of 3 BNC or RCA connectors. Hook decent-quality cables from the three video outputs of the player to the three video inputs of a progressive-scan line or a progressive-scan TV. Toshiba's version is called ColorStream PRO.

  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
DEF

Connexion reliant le lecteur DVD à un vidéoprojecteur.

OBS

De très bonne qualité car c'est ce qui se rapproche le plus du signal encodé. On ne retrouve cette connectique que sur certains vidéoprojecteurs et DVD haut de gamme, les téléviseurs en étant dépourvus.

OBS

L'abréviation YUV correspond à la luminance tandis que U et V s'appliquent à la chrominance. Il en va de même pour «composante Y Cb Cr où Cb et Cr correspondent à la chrominance.
