Note that these settings apply globally to all cubes. Therefore, to correctly configure the
unit it is necessary to know the creation mode of the cube (RGB/YCrCb) and whether it was
generated with scaling enabled or disabled. If you have cubes installed that were created
in different modes then it is recommended to include an appropriate reference (for
example ‘RGB-Scaled’ or ‘YCrCb-Unscaled’) as part of the file name for the profile used to
generate the cube.

The input mode is set to 4:2:2 (YCrCb) and the signal is taken from the IN B connector.
444 YUV
The input mode is set to 4:4:4 YCrCb (this requires a dual-link input to both IN A and IN B
connectors).
