Co-sited sampling ensures that the luminance and the chrominance digital information is simultaneous, minimizing chroma/luma delay. This sampling technique is applied to color difference component video signals: Y, Cr, and Cb. The color difference signals, Cr and Cb, are sampled at a sub-multiple of Y, the luminance frequency – 4:2:2, for example. With co-sited sampling, the two color difference signals are sampled at the same instant, as well as one of the luminance samples.
