OK, but then you need to describe what the color format depends on. See more
below.

No, you multiply by 4. 12 bit depth will multiple by 16, and 16 bit depth by 256.

But how do you format this? Using bits 29-0? Or use 9-0 for one color component,
25-16 for another and 41-32 for the last component?

Also missing is an explanation of which bits are for Y', which for Cb and which for Cr.

It is surprisingly hard to provide an unambiguous description of this :-)
