8 ******************************************************
12 Formats with ½ horizontal and vertical chroma resolution, also known as
13 YUV 4:2:0. One luminance and one chrominance plane with alternating
14 chroma samples as opposed to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420``
20 These are two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format. The three
21 components are separated into two sub-images or planes. The Y plane is
22 first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12``, a
23 combined CbCr plane immediately follows the Y plane in memory. The CbCr
24 plane is the same width, in bytes, as the Y plane (and of the image),
25 but is half as tall in pixels. Each CbCr pair belongs to four pixels.
26 For example, Cb\ :sub:`0`/Cr\ :sub:`0` belongs to Y'\ :sub:`00`,
27 Y'\ :sub:`01`, Y'\ :sub:`10`, Y'\ :sub:`11`. ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV21`` is
28 the same except the Cb and Cr bytes are swapped, the CrCb plane starts
31 If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the CbCr plane has as
32 many pad bytes after its rows.
35 Each cell is one byte.
