A320 Autoland

Hi all,
I have a question regarding approach / landing capability on the A320.

as far as I understand, the alert height stands at 100ft, therefore, any failure below AH will not change the landing capability unless it’s one of the 7 reasons the autoland light is triggered.

Today however I found this in the FCOM (22-30-70) which says “below 200ft RA, CAT3 single or cat3 dual is memorised”.

why is it 200 and not 100?

I also came across this video, which shows a downgrade between 200-100.

anyone have any words of wisdom?
