It is true that the luminance bandwidth can exceed the
4.2 MHz bandpass of an NTSC encoder, but the process of creating the I &
Q components for baseband video is the same process used in an NTSC
encoder - you must reduce the Q component (mostly blue) to only 0.5 MHz
bandpass and the I component to 1.5 MHz.
While the FCC rules for broadcasting analog NTSC specify I&Q as the
color components, I think for most digital OTA broadcasts wideband
R-Y&B-Y are used which, when decoded into NTSC in the $60 boxes results
in images with much more color detail.
