ah, it seems 20-bit thing was just 10-bit per yuv component, formatted for
ITU-R BT.1120

2.1 Serial video data Y, CB and CR signals are handled as 20-bit words by
time-multiplexing CB and CR components. Each 20-bit word corresponds to a
colour-difference sample and a luminance sample. The multiplex is organized
as:
