The codecs support cross conversion between YCbCr colorspaces as well as conversion to and from RGB/BGR24, RGBA/BGRA32. For translating between RGB(A) and YCrCb (also called YUV by some manufacturers), the Drastic codec provides a wide variety of transform matrices included CCIR 601, RP 709, SMPTE 240M and SMPTE 274M. Each may us full scale (computer) translation or the more traditional video scale (sRGB/SMPTE) for translation. Separate matrices are available for encoding and decoding as well as HD and SD material for maximum flexibility.
