Right, so my understanding was that allowing the ability to use both luma and chroma was a result of having less space in the VANC to hold data, compared to HD resolutions where that is much less likely to be an issue.  That said, I’ve never seen an implementation that actually puts it in the chroma.

Ah, ok.  That’s Kieran.  He’s really knowledgable in this area, although I cannot see the conversation you’ve linked to as it seems that room is only accessible by people with email accounts from certain domains.
