H61 vs H67: Quick Sync and Clear Video?

I am trying to compare the feature sets of the H61 and H67 chipsets, and I am getting some conflicting indications about the video technology supported.

I know the H61 does not have 6Gb SATA, has fewer USB ports, and fewer PCIe ports. My confusion is about Clear Video and Quick Sync.

http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=52807,52806 This Intel page, comparing the H61 and H67 chipsets, says the H61 does have Clear Video. However, http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=51856,51857,51855,54876,55526,50095,50101,50092,50098, this page, which compares Intel H61 and H67 motherboards, indicates that the Intel H61 motherboards do not have Clear Video. Quick Sync is not mentioned for either chipset. I thought I had found an intel.com page that says Quick Sync is not supported on H61, but I haven't been able to find it again.

By comparison, http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=H61M-VS&cat=Specifications this ASRock H61 motherboard says it does Clear Video and Quick Sync. This http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8H61M_LE/# specifications Asus H61 motherboard and the http://gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3825# ov Gigabyte one mention Quick Sync but not Clear VIdeo.

So I'm pretty confused. What is the definitive answer (and how can I know it's definitive?!)?

Some partial closure on this: Apparently the H61 vs H67 comparison chart I linked to above used to be wrong: it used to say Clear Video was not supported on H61. I have no explanation for the Intel motherboard listings. There are several posts at avsforum.com which say that there was misinformation on H61 at first.
