Golly. It could also carry DSD from SACD couldn't it?

Gary,

Not sure, as I've not followed this much, but I believe deep colour as its being used (xxyy) is in fact 8 bit but makes use of PC rather than RGB codes, i,e, <16 >235 which is outside of Studio level coding. Sudio optical formats are more like 7.5 bits.

Still doesn't take advantage of what was originally envisioned for NTSC colour space. (not 601 or 709)
