We quickly forget that chrominance is missing as our perceptual system depend primarily on luminance.

Normally, the wardrobe folk make sure people aren't wearing stripes or patterns, where an interaction between fabric pattern and video scanning pixel pattern causes 'cross-colour interference' (i.e. the luminance signal breaks through into the chrominance).

BS is for limiting the luminance and chrominance values to a range that is acceptable for over-the-air transmission.

The Sony A500 uses a combination of on-sensor noise reduction at each photocell location, plus a two-step noise reduction procedure which operates both before and after analog-to-digital conversion, processing chrominance and luminance noise separately.

With the Lumix LX5's processor, though, Panasonic's engineers finally had enough computing horsepower at their disposal to look at luminance (brightness) noise and chrominance (color) noise both separately and together.

The Windows version wouldn't apply chrominance or luminance noise reduction to images.

Componet Video: aka: YPbPr, YCbCr, YUV. contains luminance (Y) signal and separate chrominance (PR and PB) elements.
