Glossary
YUV
Is The color encoding system used for analog television worldwid e (NTSC, PAL and SECAM). The YUV
color space differs from RGB, which is what the camera captures and what humans view.
Composite Video and S-video
The original TV standard combined luma (Y) and both color signals (B-Y, R-Y) into one channel, which
uses one cable and is known as "composite video." An option known as "S-video" or "Y/C video" keeps
the luma separate from the color signals, using one cable, but with separate wires internally. S-video is a
bit sharper than composite video.
Component Video
When luma and each of the color signals (B-Y and R-Y) are maintained in separate cha nnels, it is called
"component video," designated as YPbPr when in the analog domain and YCbCr when it is digital.
ASIC
An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) customized for a particular
use, rather than intended for general-purpose use.
S/PDIF
Is a Data Link Layer protocol and a set of Physical Layer specifications for carrying digital audio signals
between devices and stereo components over either optical or electrical cable. The name stands for
Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (More commonly known as Sony Philips Digital Interface).
