That just controls the saturation. The result after the matrix
multiplication is either saturated to [0..255] or to [16..235]/[16..240]
when converting from the internal representation to the 8 bit output.

Where did you get that from? "The final calculation result is limited
according to the SAT_MODE parameter and rounded to 8 bits." I see no
mention of coefficients being modified.

SAT_MODE should be set for conversions to YUV limited range so that the
coefficients can be rounded to the closest value. Otherwise we'd have to
round towards zero, possibly with a larger error, to make sure the
results are inside the valid ranges.
