13.2.4.7 YIQ Conversion

The YIQ color space is used in U.S. color television broadcasting. Conversion from RGBA to YIQA may be accomplished using the color matrix:

\begin{displaymath}
\left[
\begin{array}{c}
Y \\
I \\
Q \\
A
\end{array}\righ...
...left[
\begin{array}{c}
R \\
G \\
B \\
A
\end{array}\right]
\end{displaymath}

(Generally, YIQ is not used with an alpha channel so the fourth component is eliminated.) The inverse matrix is used to map YIQ to RGBA [30].
