Determining Valid Component Analog Video Signals with a 3-D Vector Representation
The traditional vectorscope display is limited in that it does not yield any information about color saturation because the vectorscope ignores the luminance content of colors. Since the color picture can be described by three parameters — hue, saturation, and brightness — the color picture takes on a 3-D nature and the 2-D vector display is incomplete. A new vector display has been proposed which allows the relationship between luminance and the color components to be displayed. This article demonstrates the utility of a 3-D spatial representation of component color signals. The combination of this new display and the traditional display provides a complete description of the color components as orthogonal 2-D vector projections of a 3-D color vector space.
