The above link explains what this term means for analog.
For digital video (HDMI and DVI connections) YCbCr is the term used for digital component video versus digital RGB video. YPbPr is also component video but that term is reserved for analog connections only.
You may find HDMI settings that use this term along with numbers.
YCbCr 4:2:2 uses 16-235 digital video levels and is the common and recommended setting since that is what most displays are designed for.
YCbCr 4:4:4 uses 0-255 PC digital video levels and is uncommon. This option is provided to compensate for a design flaw or to match other video sources. Most displays that accept 0-255 digital video levels will be looking for RGB video rather than component.
The numbers represent video and color detail in the form of sampling rate
