YCbCr to RGB Color Space Conversion Design Example
This design example shows how to convert video stream data in YCbCr color space to Studio RGB color space using the Color Space Converter MegaCore® function in DSP Builder. A color space is a mathematical representation of a set of colors. The YCbCr color space is used in video systems, and the red, green, and blue (Studio RGB) color space is widely used for Microsoft Windows graphics. In this example, the Color Space Converter MegaCore function converts the data stream in YCbCr color space to Studio RGB color space.
The model consists of an image stream source block, a color space converter block, and an image stream sink block. The image stream source block reads the input binary file in YCbCr color space and feeds the data stream to the color space converter block. The image stream sink block writes the data stream in RGB color space to an output binary file. The package also includes the utility to convert an avi video file format to and from a binary file format. For information about using this example, refer to the README.txt file.
