# yuvsplittoppm(1)

convert separate Y, U, and V files into a PPM image

## NAME

yuvsplittoppm - convert separate Y, U, and V files into a PPM image

## SYNOPSIS

**yuvsplittoppm**

*basename*  *width*  *height* \[**-ccir601**\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**yuvsplittoppm** reads three files, containing the YUV components, as input.  These files are *basename*.Y, *basename*.U, and *basename*.V.  Produces a PPM image on Standard Output.

Since the YUV files are raw files, the dimensions *width* and *height* must be specified on the command line.

## OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably **-quiet**, see \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), **yuvsplittoppm** recognizes the following command line option:

- **-ccir601**

  Assumes that the YUV triplets are scaled into the smaller range of the CCIR 601 (MPEG) standard. Else, the JFIF (JPEG) standard is assumed.
