Color Space Converters (CSC) convert signals from one color space to another color space. Color space conversion is often required to ensure compatibility with display devices or to make the image data amenable for compression or transmission. CSCs are widely used in video and image display systems including televisions, computer monitors, color printers, video telephony and surveillance systems.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.

Features

  • Input and Output data width from 8 to 16 bits
  • Signed or unsigned input and output data
  • Supports standard configurations as well as custom configurations
  • Parameterized coefficients precision from 9 to 18 bits
  • Optional sequential or parallel architecture for area or throughput optimization
