A standard consisting of analog video signals transmitted on three wires, one for luminance (Y) and synchronizing, one for the red component from which is subtracted the total luminance (R-Y) causing it to represent both red and cyan, and one for the blue component from which is subtracted the total luminance (B-Y) so it represents blue and yellow.

OBS

color difference video: So named because the color components consist of the difference between other commonly seen video signal components, for example red content minus luminance.
