YPbPr is the analog video signal carried by component video cable in consumer electronics.

YPbPr (also referred to as "Y/Pb/Pr", "YPrPb", "PrPbY", "B-Y R-Y Y" and "PbPrY") is a color space used in video electronics. YPbPr is the analog version of the YCbCr color space; the two are numerically equivalent, but YPbPr is designed for use in analog systems whereas YCbCr is intended for digital video.

YPbPr is converted from the RGB video signal, which is split into three components, Y, Pr and Pb.[1]

  • Y carries luminance information.
  • Pb carries the difference between blue and luminance (B - Y).
  • Pr carries the difference between red and luminance (R - Y).

See the YCbCr page for the defining equations.
