A color is described as a Y′ component and two chroma components U and V. The prime symbol (') denotes that the luma is calculated from gamma-corrected RGB input and that it is different from true luminance. [1] Today, the term YUV is commonly used in the computer industry to describe colorspaces that are encoded using YCbCr. [2]
Pixel formats used in Y'CbCr can be referred to as YUV too, for example yuv420p, yuvj420p and many others. In a similar vein, the term luminance and the symbol Y are often used erroneously to refer to luma, which is denoted with the symbol Y'. The luma (Y') of video engineering deviates from the luminance (Y) of color science (as defined by CIE).
Each screen character is represented by two bytes aligned as a 16-bit word accessible by the CPU in a single operation. The lower (or character) byte is the actual code point for the current character set, and the higher (or attribute) byte is a bit field used to select various video attributes such as color, blinking, character set, and so forth.

YCbCr is sometimes abbreviated to YCC.Typically the terms Y′CbCr, YCbCr, YPbPr and YUV are used interchangeably, leading to some confusion. The main difference is that YPbPr is used with analog images and YCbCr with digital images, leading to different scaling values for U max and V max (in YCbCr both are ) when converting to/from YUV.
By default, the Retrode was equipped with cartridge slots and controller ports for the SNES and Sega Genesis (also known as Mega Drive outside North America) game consoles; support for cartridges and controllers for other systems could be added via so-called plug-in adapters that users can buy online or make themselves.
Back of a CGA Video Adapter board, with the RCA composite output connector visible on the right. The Color Graphics Adapter uses a standard RCA connector for connection to an NTSC-compatible television or composite video monitor. [3] The connector on the card is female and the one on the monitor cable is male.
The Page Boy was a device that plugged into the Game Boy Color's cartridge port, with a port of its own on the back, capable of connecting the Game Boy Color to the internet via radio signals. Using a proprietary piece of Game Boy software, the Page Boy would allow users to perform searches, send messages to other users, and view news, weather ...
The PCjr, released in 1983, has a graphics subsystem built around IBM's Video Gate Array [3] (not to be confused with the later Video Graphics Array) and an MC6845 CRTC [4] and extends on the capabilities of the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), increasing the number of colors in each screen mode. CGA's 2-color mode can be displayed with four ...
