Remarks
Remarks
This card is a readout only and includes no measurement.

In case of MXF this is a combination of two metadata items: horizontal subsampling, vertical subsampling.

Horizontal subsampling is best effort metadata. If the detected value is a distinguished value, the search shall be continued until a non distinguished value is found. If no non distinguished value is found, the distinguished value shall be used.
