UHD player with YUV420 output?

Correct.

So if some of the splitter in my chain is rated as 420 capable only then that basically means there is no way I will be able to run a 24p signal through it? It will have to be upconverted from 24fps to 60/50fps (thus defeating my purpose)in order for the signal to pass through?

If your splitter can't handle greater subsampling than 4:2:0 even in 4K24 then I kinda doubt it'd have enough bandwidth to handle 4K50/60. It shouldn't even be a HDMI-branded device if it can't accept a 4:2:2 signal in any way, shape or form. Or this is some sort of Cat5 network doobrie or something?
