What does YPBPR mean?

YPbPr
YPbPr or Y'PbPr, also written as YPBPR, is a color space used in video electronics, in particular in reference to component video cables. YPBPR is gamma corrected YCBCR color space (it is not analog YUV that was used for analog TV, though component video is an analog interface); the two are numerically equivalent but YPBPR is designed for use in analog systems while YCBCR is intended for digital video. The EOTF (gamma correction) may be different from common sRGB EOTF and BT.1886 EOTF. Sync is carried on the Y channel and is a bi-level sync signal, however, in HD formats a tri-level sync is used and is typically carried on all channels.YPBPR is commonly referred to as component video by manufacturers; however, there are many types of component video, most of which are some form of RGB. Some video cards come with video-in video-out (VIVO) ports for connecting to component video devices.

    Am I the only person here smart enough to realize that green starts with a G, not a Y? Likewise, neither red nor blue starts with P. The question in question is what does YPbPr stand for, not what is it.

      This is actually the most incomplete bs answer ever. To actually answer your question, Y stands for the Yellow-Gamma which is Illuminance and contrast data/yellow color space PB stands for Progressive scan/Blue colorspace and PR stands for Progressive scan/red colorspace. However despite the naming YPbPr cable can be used for both progressive and interlaced video signal but at the time of it's invention that's what there was. Hope this helps. The red green blue on the cables is actually inaccurate to the function.
