- A digital, color-difference component video picture format identified by the FOURCC code UYVY. This format employs 4:2:2 chroma subsampling with each sample represented by 8 bits of data.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
