[edit] What are Pb and Pr?

Y means luminance, but what do Pb and Pr mean? thanks, --Abdull 20:52, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The 'b' and 'r' mean 'blue' and 'red' respectively. The 'P' stands for 'Parallel', which had something to do with the actual electrical connection when the standard was first made, but you can safely assume it doesn't stand for anything in particular other than to differentiate it from YCbCr 64.121.2.24 21:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
What the P (and the Y for that matter) actually stand for should be added to the article. I've been googling for a while and have not been able to find out. The most convincing argument I found was that is stood for 'Purplish'. This is the only place I've seen it claimed that it stands for 'Parallel'. A reliable source needs to be found for the abbreviation and this should be added to the article.

The article calls Y the luma component, but other articles differentiate between luma (Y') and luminance (Y). Is the article incorrect?DB10099 (talk) 10:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where is this used?

Is this a U.S. standard only? (YPbPr is on DVD players and TV's here now, but I've only heard it called "Component Video")

I have not seen YUV nor VGA on Televisions here (only heard VGA in connection with computer monitors), and never heard of YUV at all untill today while reading Xbox 360, Part II: Aiming For The High Definition and Multimedia Promised Land. The author states "...since older flat-screen TVs that don't have YUV generally do have VGA." Is that just for European Televisions?

[edit] B-Y R-Y Y

That's on the component in/out connections on the breakout box for a Media 100 Macintosh video editing system. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.136.145.237 (talk) 07:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Why is component good?

The entry doesn't state why component is thought of as the best type of analog connection between video devices. How does it compare with analog RGB connectors? --24.249.108.133 16:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formally proposing move

I have just undone a move to Y'PbPr, made without consensus and by copy/paste. The move is here [1]. I have no view on whether the move should take place, but I am putting this proposal in to allow discussion. Notinasnaid 10:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose I'm fairly certain that YPbPr is most common. 132.205.44.134 22:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Agree YPbPr is most likely the most commonly used term because its simply easier to type. Y'PbPr is the official designation and should therefore be the page that is redirected to. On a side note, sorry for making the move without a consensus. I'll be sure to follow the rules next time. Spartan018 02:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
