Three Basic Colors of Television • Blue • Red • Green 59 % 11 % 30%
Three Color Characteristics • Hue – adjusted color sometime called tint control (from green to red) • Brightness – illumination of the picture that includes sharpness of edges including the contrast control • Saturation -
Lights • 430 Terahertz (430 X 10 Hz) to 750 Terahertz (750 X 10 Hz) • 430 Terahertz is considered as a wavelength • 750 Terahertz correspond to the color red and the higher frequency • 400 nm seen deep blue • Some colors do not correspond to any one given wavelength of light (example brown and purple) 12 12
Color Mixing • When sunlight passes through a glass prism will separate into multitude of color components. The display is called saturation
Subtractive color mixing • Subtractive mixing – make use of filtering action that dyes pigments and inks. Ex: pictures, photographs, color movies. • Additive mixing – superior to subtractive mixing. Using the primary colors as the base.
Result of 3 color additive mixing 50% Saturated Yellow 50 % Saturated red 100% White 50% White White Gray pink Pale yellow Pale green Bluish Green
Luminance Level • Dark yellow producing a shade of gray approaching black • Y= 0.59G + 0.39R + 0.11B • For equal Energy • Y = 0.59(1) + 0.30(1) + 0.11(1) • =1.00 • For 50 % red 100% blue 100% green • Y = 0.59G + 0.30R + 0.11B • = 0.59(1) + 0.30(1) + 0.11(1) • = 0.59 + 0.15 + 0.11 • =0.85
Object size and color • A 23 in television picture tube can show a video signal of 0.5 MHz or less correspond to horizontal picture tube object sizer ranging from 0.34 in or more. • Object sizes ranging from 0.34 in to a minimum of 0.12 in corresponding to the half cycle of video frequency of 1.5 MHz. • Only two colors orange and cyan can provide complete color reprodution
continuation • Luminance signal information has required bandpass from 0 to 4.2 MHZ • The narrower the bandwidth of the color information the less complex the color tv system need be.
G-Y Matrix • (R –Y) + Y = R • (B – Y) +Y = B • (G – Y) + Y = G
Phase relationship • The amplitude of the composite chrominance signal represents the color Saturation information and its phase corresponds to the actual color of hue information of the picture being transmitted • Phasor – a sine and cosine waves can be represented by a straight line.
Three phasors properties • Length • Speed of counter clockwise rotation • Relative angular position
Performance of the chrominance signal • Y =0.59G + 0.30R + 0.11B =0.599(0) +0.30(0) + 0.11(0) = 0.41 • R –Y = 0.70R – 0.11B– 0.59G =0.70(1) – 0.11(1) – 0.59(1) = 0.59 • B – Y 0.89B – 0.30R – 0.59G =0.89(1) – 0.30(1) – 0.59(0) = 0.59
