YUV

Strictly speaking, YUV does not apply to component video. The letters refer to the

Luminance (Y), and the U and V encoding axes using in the PAL composite

system. Since the U axis is very close to the B-Y axis, and the V axis is very close

to the R-Y axis, YUV is often used as a sort of shorthand for the more long-winded

“Y/R-Y/B-Y”.

Y/Cr/Cb

In digital component video, the luminance component is Y, and the two color

difference signals are Cr (R-Y) and Cb (B-Y).

Y/Pr/Pb

In analog component video, the image is carried in three components. The

luminance is Y, the R-Y color difference signal is Pr, and the B-Y color difference

signal is Pb.
