YUV predates computer graphics by several years.&nbsp; It was developed to add color to NTSC broadcasts without losing monochrome compatibility and also to fit within the already mandated TV broadcast bandwidth.&nbsp; <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

YUV is a method for defining colors. 4-2-2 and 4-1-1 are ways of<br>reducing the file size of an image that are possible only in an YUV<br>space (not quite true, but at least not possible in RGB). YUV is in<br>reality mainly used for video.
<br><br>&gt; I'm not following this thread but nice explanation.<br>&gt; So YUV in anything other than 4 4 4 is basically<br>&gt; &quot;compressed video&quot; ?<br><br><br>Pär<br>_______________________________________________
