4:2:2 is already compressed
its better then 4:2:0
but i would prefer 4:4:4
then no pixel is skipped fused or has the same color
depending on the situation

the problem with the AJA cards is that the cheapest card you can buy that has 4:4:4 10 bit cost 350 $/€
often more they have cards going up to 9000 $

the blackmagic card is around 200 $/€

seeing the prices going up to 9000 $ that might be cheap

but really ? for a old VHS device ?
then 10 years and older harder still having such prices ? weird

no1 has a cheaper solution for 4:4:4 ?
