DVB 4:2:2 Expanded Windows, 16-line and 32-line
Tiernan encoders and decoders support both 16- and 32-line expanded windows
operations. As with normal video encoding, the first 6 lines of the VBI region
contain timing set-up information. Expanded Windows use the remaining lines in
the VBI region, either 16 or 32 per frame (8 or 16 per field), to transmit data.
