If a presenter plugs in an unusual computer resolution over VGA (e.g., a VESA standard 1024×768 or non-standard frame rates), the CV190 will hardware-convert, scale, and cross-convert the signal into a fixed broadcast standard (such as 1080p60, 1080i50, or 720p60) to keep downstream switchers from glitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e10-Bit YUV 4:2:2 Color Processing Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e To satisfy strict broadcast television standards, the conversion pipeline uses a \u003cb\u003e10-bit YUV 4:2:2 color processing matrix\u003c\/b\u003e.
