The best that the examiner can muster to respond to the

image components are transmitted through a single video output
channel. It is noted that Gillard . . . does not illustrate 3
parallel output channels for Y, U, and V to be simultaneously
outputted because these image components are outputted at
different respective times within a frame period . . .” (answer,
pages 4-5).
We are in agreement with appellants that there “is no
support whatsoever in the disclosure of Gillard . . . for the
Examiner’s contention that the Y, U and V components are
