XY within EAV is DA.0 ( 11011010 00)
XY within SAV is C7.0 ( 1100011100 ) this significates
this line an active one in an even field

The values of V and F change within the transmission of the EAV signal at the
start of each digital line.
The line numbers count according to ITU-R BT. 470; the number of the digital line
changes at the reference point 0H.
