Verified locator: Primary Microsoft technical article explicitly by Gary Sullivan and Stephen Estrop, April2002, updated November2008. YUV Sampling defines4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0 and distinct sample grids. Color Space and Chroma Sampling Rate Conversions gives matrix constants and interpolation examples. Introduction uses U/V for Cb/Cr; that naming convention is local to this guide.

Byline: Gary Sullivan and Stephen Estrop, Microsoft Corporation, April2002 updated November2008; Surface Definitions, Stride and NV12, specify row layout and interleaved U/V order; Conversion between RGB and4:4:4 YUV gives computer-RGB scaling and nominal video code ranges
