WHAT DOES CHROMINANCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chrominance

Chrominance is the signal used in video systems to convey the color information of the picture, separately from the accompanying luma signal. Chrominance is usually represented as two color-difference components: U = B′ − Y′ and V = R′ − Y′. Each of these difference components may have scale factors and offsets applied to it, as specified by the applicable video standard. In composite video signals, the U and V signals modulate a color subcarrier signal, and the result is referred to as the chrominance signal; the phase and amplitude of this modulated chrominance signal correspond approximately to the hue and saturation of the color. In digital-video and still-image color spaces such as Y′CbCr, the luma and chrominance components are digital sample values. Separating RGB color signals into luma and chrominance allows the bandwidth of each to be determined separately. Typically, the chrominance bandwidth is reduced in analog composite video by reducing the bandwidth of a modulated color subcarrier, and in digital systems by chroma subsampling.

Definition of chrominance in the English dictionary

The definition of chrominance in the dictionary is the quality of light that causes the sensation of colour. It is determined by comparison with a reference source of the same brightness and of known chromaticity. Other definition of chrominance is the information that defines the colour of a television image, but not the brightness.
