LEAD DirectShow Filters - Video Color Space Converter Filter

The LEAD Color Space Converter filter is useful for converting from various YUV formats to other YUV formats or RGB. YUV transformation is most useful for camera manufacturers of cameras that output YUV data instead of RGB.

Manufacturers of cameras that output YUV data will have to add the YUV->RGB conversion to their capture device, making the camera's drivers larger. Additionally, the LEADTOOLS Color Space Converter filter is highly optimized and utilizes MMX optimizations for faster conversion.

The output from the Color Space Converter can be other YUV formats or the following RGB formats: 24-bit, 16-bit (5:6:5 or 5:5:5), 32-bit, 8-bit grayscale. The LEAD Color Space Converter supports conversions from any input format to any output format.

Additionally, LEADTOOLS developer toolkits support color conversion from YUV to RGB formats through API calls included in LEADTOOLS Raster Imaging Pro, Multimedia Imaging Suite, Document Imaging products and Medical imaging products. Conversions from YUV to RGB data via the API include in the following formats:
