Abstract
Hidden, like a hero whose tale is lost to time, there is a common thread weaving through analog television, video, and modern digital imaging. That thread is called luma-chroma colour spaces, and powers how humans are able to see, process, and transmit colours across a variety of media and purposes.
This talk is intended to lift the veil about these color spaces; we will cover their origins, what they are intended for, and showcase samples covering the past 60 years of imaging technologies. Examples include (but are not limited) to: NTSC, PAL, the Okta color spaces, YCbCr, XYB…
Media coverage
This talk was given at FireShonks, an event part of the 37th Chaos Communication Congress.
