Optimum Color Analysis Characteristics and Matrices for Color Television Cameras with Three Receptors
The color fidelity of a color television signal source may be substantially improved if a linear matrix is included in the signal chain. This improvement is greatest when the optical color analysis characteristics of the source are chosen together with the matrix coefficients. This paper describes computations made to determine the optimum matrix for use with a given set of color analysis characteristics. The method is then extended to enable the analysis characteristics and the matrix to be optimized together. The resulting characteristics are found to give an improvement not only in color fidelity but also in noise performance, when compared with the characteristic giving best color fidelity when a matrix is not permitted.
