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.
