IIRC:
Depending on format and resolution, Color Space is a Format setting when you create the project, and can also be changed from the Format Tab when needed once the project is underway. I believe that DNxHD compression can be either YUV or RGB. The number refers to the data rate.

Calling: Curren, Hullfish, Shufflebottom, Job, et al . . . am I correct?
