                What I meant to say is that (my thought ) 8-bit YUY2
                output support seems to be the current limit of
                HDMI-USB3 Video Capture sticks like in the new ms2130.<br>
                I saw that the (previous) USB2 model that still was
                announced in parallell didn't support YUY2. But I expect
                this is just a question of time as the chip technology
                evolves - so maybe the next model and UVC then get
                10-bit support(?)<br>

                <blockquote>Using 10-bit is advocated by many, although

                  It is debatable whether 10-bit is required for VHS
