When the term Y’UV (or YUV) is encountered in<br />

a computer graphics or image-processing context,<br />

usually Rec. 601 Y’C BC R is meant, but beware!<br />

• Any image data supposedly coded to the original 1953<br />

NTSC primaries is suspect, because it has been about<br />

four decades since any equipment using these primaries<br />

has been built.<br />

• Generally no mention is made of the transfer function<br />

of the underlying R’G’B’ components, and no account is<br />

taken of the nonlinear formation of luma.<br />

When the term Y’IQ (or YIQ) is encountered, beware!<br />

• Image data supposedly coded in Y’IQ is suspect since<br />

no analog or digital interface for Y’IQ components has<br />

ever been standardized.<br />

• Nearly all NTSC encoders and decoders built since 1970<br />

have been based upon Y’UV components, not Y’IQ.<br />
