This answered so many questions I had about YCbCr. Thanks!!!!

My mind exploded when he introduced grayscale 2:08

Immediate subscription, absolutely LOVE your explanation of this that I instinctively clapped once the video was over because so many professors tried to explain this to me and none did in such a colloquial yet detailed manner. Thank you!

This is the most intuitive explanation I've ever found. I've watched many explanations/vids and thought I understood, but now I truly understand the difference. Bravo!

I want to be comment 162 on your video to also continue to thank you on this insanely genius way to explain RGB vs YCbCr. This is the first time that I got to really visualize what the mechanics of each color model are and make some real sense out of it. I always knew one was limited vs. full in color space, but this adds so much clarity that I am left blown away. Thank you good sir!

Very nice visual presentation... Gray-scale is explained in very nice way...loved it :)

Adding to the pile here but the way that you lay out information is fantastic, thank you for putting this out.

Very nice! Thanks for making that! I would love a whole series about Color and Color Science!

Nice, the visualisation with the cude is really cool

This has got to be, the best explanation of color spaces I have ever seen! If there is someway to support this channel, let me know.

Thank you this is the first video that clearly told me a difference. Most just say “it’s different becuse it’s different”. Interesting.

Stright forward, short, to the point👍Love it

Thank you for this short, but helpful video. Right to the point.

I watched this on some other POS site through subtitles and still very well explained so I watched it all in CC before coming here to like it :D

An excellent description, thank you. This was your first video that I watched but you got a subscriber nevertheless.

Thank you for video.. finally my search got fullstop. by this channel it has cleared all my doubts

Great video, thank you for your easy to understand explanations! Great teacher!

This was fantastic and so well illustrated. Earned a sub. I would absolutely love more videos about color science from you. For example RGBA (how alpha channel fits in) or what the difference betweeen sRGB, Adobe RGB, Rec. 2020 and DCI-P3 is.

Excellent video while I was looking to just answer the Ycbcr/Ypbpr difference I had figured out more than I bet for.

Thank you so so so so so much for this clip.

One of the best video ever seen, perfectly explained

Very well explained. Thank you!

the explanation in this video is amazing

In YUV you can concantrate the information more on luminance than on chrominance. A human eye is more sensitive to brightness, therefore it is more convenient to have more brightness levels then color tones. In 24 bit RGB (32bit without the 8bit "alpha channel") you can only generate 256 shades of grey. When you color a square with a gradient from black to white from left to right, you can easily tell the difference between a lighter and a darker shade. Now draw a gradient from red to yellow, you still have 256 vertical stripes, but it's very hard to distinguish two adjacent shades. The same applies to blue-magenta, green-yellow, etc.

This is bloody brilliant

Gracias por tan completa y comprensible información amigo, saludos desde México!!!

OMG, your English... it's awesome! thanks for explaining such a complicated concept in a such easy way! thanks!

why are your videos so good

Brilliant..

Great explanation, thanks!

thanks for this ... soooo good!

Thanks man really helping with my mid terms👍👍

AMAZING VIDEO

Hi, after calibrating the monitor by loading the profile into the lut of the video card, spurious transitions appeared on the gradients, in the YCbCr mode they are not there, which would be more correct for color rendering on the YCbCr or Full RGB PC, if you do not take into account the work with gradients?

Awesome video

Excellent video!!!

Great video, Thanks!

Thank you, this is so helpful

Where is the rest of the video? I was just getting into it, and the video was over. Thanks for posting.

Great Teacher 💯

This is very nice 😊

Darn it! that was almost the perfect video on the subject - narrators delivery was exceptional for absorbing complex subject matter, exposition using the graphics was top notch, transforms from RGB to YCrCb [4:00] helpful... but then you left out the inverse transforms!!! {have re-implemented three different formulas claiming to represent YCrCb to RGB from different internet sources for my project and none of them have resulted in a correct RGB result, and my tired brain is really struggling with how to derive the inverse equations based on those included in the video} /* my end goal is Android YUV420 camera data to RGB pixel by pixel for analysis of small segments of the image*/

So...i should set my Nvidia Shield display mode to YUV 4.4.4 8bit instead of the default RGB 8bit? Is HDTV and media liek streaming or blu rays YUV now a days?

Thank you ever so much, I understood perfectly and I have no further questions!

Where does the YCbCr color cube come from? For example, the RGB color cube came from the fact that each axis was a particular color component, with 0,0,0 being black and 255,255,255 being white. It makes sense visually - the corner where (255, 0, 0) lives is red. The corner where (0, 255, 0) lives is green. Etc. The YCbCr cube, however, kinda is just magically given, with a very specific visual color at each location, but without any intuition as to why a particular point on the YCbCr cube is a particular color. For example, in the first face of the YCbCr cube that you show (the side with pure white in the center), you can find a very light shade of lime green in the bottom left of that face. However, there's really not much intuition that, in order to get that shade of green, you need "highest value of Y and most negative values of Cb and Cr". Perhaps the confusion stems from the lack of intuition over what exactly Cr and Cb *mean*, or *are*. In RGB, R, G, and B can be summed up as "the amount of Red, Blue, and Green each in a pixel". Is there a similar intuition for YCbCr, like "the amount of red and blue in an image at a particular brightness"? If so, why is green where Cb and Cr are both at their minimum values?

Great video. Just curious. My Blu Ray player offers Hdmi color space options (Auto, RGB Video level, RGB PC level, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2) any idea which I should choose? Thank you!!

RGB, YCbCr422 & 444 with 8bit is just the same right?

im running my ps5 on ycbcr instead of rgb and it looks so much better. colors and the black levels really pop compared to rgb. rgb makes my blacks look a lottle gray.

I have a PC with AMD RX 570 GPU and I use with Samsung QN90A Mini LED TV connected with HDMI 2.1 which color space is better to use? By default AMD driver sets the YCbCr 4:4:4 they shown as "Pixel Format" option, also the RGB 4:4:4 PC Standard Full RGB, which one is better? I think I will let it on Full RGB since some tests I saw shown the darker scenes "better" I mean more visible, especially in games.

So how does it save bandwidth? I get that you say it can be compressed but how? How does the math of it work?

24bit RGB contains every single possibility of colour and there are no repeated or missing values. Can 24 bit YCbCr claim the same? Are there any duplicates or missing colours in 24 bit YCbCr, or is there an analogue for every single combination of those 24 bits in YCbCr when compared to RGB?

in a single video, everything is cover about RGB and YCBRC color model

Which one is better? Or have more information?

I don't understand how you can encode 3 different signals (RGB) to just 2 signals (Cb and Cr). What happens to the green? How can you just ignore a whole color and still get the right image at the end?

Oh my god finally I understand it

Full RGB or YCbCr 444 for computer HDMI output? Which is better?

Why choose color gamut from 0 to 255 in image processing

Rgb vs yuv wich one is best for benq projector?

Should vector base image may work better and less space

32bit rgb vs yuv for movies, who is better bro? Im confused 😢

hello plz can you help me i'm using 2 monitors and the main one is using vga to hdmi cable and the 2nd is coneccted to the other port i've recognized that movies and games became so much dark i search this again and again until i found what is called the (RGB) in nvidia control panel i change it to YCbCr444 and colors are back to normal but when i install a new game the first monitor in going to sleep id why plz can you help

can you help me?, how can i set ycbcr setting in MI 4K BOX

Thank u, from Russia 🙂

In short, which is better to work with, RGB or YCbCr

RBG is used for digital, there is no need for additional systems anymore.

What do you recommend for PS5

I changed my PS4, Apple TV, and Fire-cube to YCbCr. The picture resolution looks completely organic natural 4K.

enjoy these less specific videos with broad appeal

YOOOOOOO so that's what those ratios mean like 4:2:2 and stuff

ur voiiice damn very gooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Rgb or YCbCr for pc?

wow thank so much so this week ive upgraded my gpu from amd rx590, to a nvidia 2070super, immediately i noticed my nvidia card was bright as shit straining my eyes, so i went through both of the gpu setting on my two rig and noticed one difference amd defaults me to ycbcr 4:4:4 32bit 8bpc limited, and nvidia defaults me to rgb 32bit 8bpc limited,... well problem solved i guess my eyes are use to ycbcr 4:4:4. although rgb does look more vibrant im on a lcd tv not a computer monitor so im still not sure what i should be using, because the debate is for gaming you want less input delay so rgb is a go to, but honestly with amd anti lag, and nvidia ultra low latency mode it already reduces input delay is there a way to test the input delay anyways, Think ill just stick with ycbcr 4:4:4 for now if i ever get a cpu monitor ill switch its crazy how big this debate is online every amd user notices nvidia is brighter and gives them eye-stain and it all comes down to this one setting. Also im still debating whether i should use 8bcp or 12bcp, when switching to 12bcp i use lagom lcd testing images for lcd calibration and my blacks, and whites both seem to get crushed at 12bcp but i assume i need to re-tune my monitor again for 5 hours now lol TYVM

1677216 colors to be precise =)

why does RGB give me ugly purple font? on my text

i try full rgb for 1month, full ycbcr222 for 1month, full ycbcr444 for 1 month ....ycbcr 444 is much better but your eyes can't handle for a long in both ycbcr 222 & ycbcr 444....feels pain cant able to see monitor more than 1 hours but in rgb setting eyes feel good able to see for long time and no pain.

Does this mean RGB is superior? Does it contain more accurate or detailed colour?

ok but it's cap that "people can't see 16 miillion colors" they can actually see more then that. for example mac p3 color displays proves this as well as adobe rgb displays. compare that to a normal display and you will think the colors of srgb are dull.

People that think RGB is the right way are wrong RGB is used for PC monitors to get the full colour space out of the monitor but TVs are different if you choose RGB on a tv it’s incorrect it’ll make the image too dark blacks will be crushed TVs work differently then pc monitors. The correct input for a tv is 4:4:4 the tv will take that colour space and give you proper blacks and whites. RGB will crush the blacks

YCbCr444 YCbCr422 YCbCr420 RGB Which is the best?

One question not really relevant in any way if RGB alone with its grey scale sitting lonesome on the side made up the 24bit color cube what does YCbCr capable of if it were to be looked at the same way maybe I missed that part and like I said super irrelevant I already know more so then ever before why YCbCr is so much better but not you explained it in such a way I can actually not just go ughh when my friends say ohh yeah and whys that ahah. Easy to remember and explain, and I didn't realize it was that old and I am interested to se like TJ below said make more videos about sRGB and can skip adobe for me but wouldnt mind to know also more into Vulka and DX 12 and systems like that and how they work in relation to all this, big ask but hey you look like you found the category keep the following and make also make an account on twitch so you can not get ripped off so easily. Like every creater on this site essentially youtube is saying once you make us our firs mill. we will start giving you a cut of your own profits, sorry off topic anyways im off to wage war on that thought that just popped into my head lol! THUMBSUP

06:02 What research? This statement is as vague as "90% of dentists recommend our product" in toothpaste commercials.

Who likes lossy things? Not me!

Not difference

Stilins TVs come with ycbcr/ypbpr!
