The ITU recommendation for digital television is BT.601. That was the recommendation that specified from a broadcast perspective, how to encode digital television signals. It supports a couple of color spaces, the most obvious one is RGB, red, green and blue, which is very intuitive, but there’s a lot of correlation between the channels and it’s not really the best one to use for compression. And the format -- when you say RGB888 format, this implies 8-bit each for the red, green, and the blue component. If we say RGB666 this means that there are 6-bits each of those per pixel and 565 means there are 5 for red and blue, but there are 6 for green.  We’ll talk more about that in our LCD discussion.
