More documentation is needed ;)
The requirement was 8-bit color depth and video format (sampling) 4:2:2 
throughout the workflow.
The SCART to HDMI A/D converters I've searched fast on so far had 
missing information about this (just like the S-video&composite to usb2

The sample grabber supports Video output format: YUV420/JPEG and video 
format 8/10/12bit Deep color (?)
