4K Cinematic HDR10 titles with 4:4:4 chroma sampling

You mean for HDR 4:4:4 only right? Because I believe the Cinematic Dolby Vision titles are 12-bit (~11.5) 4:2:2.
Technically DV files are still 10-bit, just in a different colorspace, ICtCp, instead of YCbCr. And when decoded, are roughly visually equivalent to 11.5-bit YCbCr when viewed by the human eye due to improvements in the way color information is encoded in ICtCp. That does mean they are output in a 12-bit YCbCr container when using display-led DV, or converted to HDR10 by the player though.

Well, you cannot have .5 bits!

It is actually still 10bit, however the colourspace used is different which provides more ‘apparent’ detail than regular 10bit encoding which in marketing terms they claim as 11.5bits
